Death Quote by Walt Whitman

““And I will show that there is no imperfection in the present—and can be         none in the future; And I will show that, whatever happens to anybody, it may be turned to beautiful results—and I will show that nothing can happen more beautiful         than death; And I will thread a thread through my poems that time and events are         compact, And that all the things of the universe are perfect miracles, each as         profound as any. I will not make poems with reference to parts; But I will make leaves, poems, poemets, songs, says, thoughts, with         reference to ensemble: And I will not sing with reference to a day, but with reference to all         days; And I will not make a poem, nor the least part of a poem, but has reference         to the soul; Because, having looked at the objects of the universe, I find there is no         one, nor any particle of one, but has reference to the soul.””
