Walt Whitman's view of love was expansive and inclusive, encompassing not just romantic love but also love for humanity, comradeship, and the natural world. He explored the depths of both joyous and painful experiences of love, emphasizing its transformative power and its connection to human identity and connection. His exploration of love is a testament to the power of human connection and the enduring quest for intimacy, belonging, and self-discovery
I've always found the last verse of Leaves of Grass likewise so very powerful, but my own favourite quote is: "Give me the splendid, silent sun with all his beams full-dazzling.”
