Walt Whitman: 10 quotes on his birthday

Here are 10 quotes from the work of Walt Whitman, America's "poet of democracy."

8. Life's a musical

'I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear,

Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and

strong,

The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,

The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off

work,'' 

– I hear America Singing
