Walt Whitman Quotes
O Banner!Not houses of peace are you, nor any nor all of their prosperity; if need be you shall have every one of those houses to destroy them;You thought not to destroy those valuable houses, standing fast, full of comfort, built with money;May they stand fast then? Not an hour, unless you, above them and all, stand fast.
