"I dreamed in a dream, I saw..." - Quote by Walt Whitman

“Exact science and its practical movements are no checks on the greatest poet, but always his encouragement and support ... The sailor and traveller, the anatomist, chemist, astronomer, geologist, phrenologist, spiritualist, mathematician, historian and lexicographer are not poets, but they are the lawgivers of poets and their construction underlies the structure of every perfect poem.”

“O Captain! My Captain! our fearful trip is done.”

“The smallest sprout shows there is really no death. And if ever there was it led forward life, and does not wait at the end to arrest it.”

“Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises, Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments Will hum about mine ears; and sometime voices, That, if I then had waked after long sleep, Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming, The clouds methought would open, and show riches Ready to drop upon me; that, when I waked, I cried to dream again.”

“I have no theory about dreams. I do not know how dreams arise. On the other hand, I know that if we meditate on a dream sufficiently long and thoroughly – if we take the boat with us and turn it over and over – something almost always comes out of it.”

“For once you are going to hear a dream, a dream that I have made sound... I dreamed all this; never could my poor head have invented such a thing.”

“The love of a parent for a child is the love that should grow towards separation.”

“What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.”

“A man would always wish to give a woman a better home than the one he takes her from; and he who can do it, where there is no doubt of her regard, must, I think, be the happiest of mortals.”
