think 107 Back to T

  1. p. 11, line 16(I think all war through time was really fought, and ever will be really fought, for thee,)
  2. p. 14, line 22Why even I myself I often think know little or nothing of my real life,
  3. p. 20, line 24Think nothing can ever be greater, nothing can ever deserve more than it deserves,
  4. p. 21, line 7I will make the poems of materials, for I think they are to be the most spiritual poems,
  5. p. 21, line 9For I think I shall then supply myself with the poems of my soul and of immortality.
  6. p. 22, line 15None has begun to think how divine he himself is, and how certain the future is.
  7. p. 23, line 3Dear son do you think it is love?
  8. p. 34, line 2What do you think has become of the young and old men?
  9. p. 34, line 3And what do you think has become of the women and children?
  10. p. 37, line 18They do not think whom they souse with spray.
  11. p. 54, line 20I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain'd,
  12. p. 77, line 6And as to you Corpse I think you are good manure, but that does not offend me,
  13. p. 80, line 26O you and I! what is it to us what the rest do or think?
  14. p. 85, line 12Do you think matter has cohered together from its diffuse float, and the soil is on the surface, and water runs and vegetation sprouts,
  15. p. 86, line 4(Do you think they are not there because they are not express'd in parlors and lecture-rooms?)
  16. p. 89, line 27Beautiful dripping fragments, the negligent list of one after another as I happen to call them to me or think of them,
  17. p. 96, line 19Yet you are beautiful to me you faint tinged roots, you make me think of death,
  18. p. 96, line 21O I think it is not for life I am chanting here my chant of lovers, I think it must be for death,
  19. p. 96, line 25Indeed O death, I think now these leaves mean precisely the same as you mean,
  20. p. 98, line 20Even while you should think you had unquestionably caught me, behold!
  21. p. 99, line 19Far, far in the forest, or sauntering later in summer, before I think where I go,
  22. p. 101, line 8How often I think neither I know, nor any man knows, aught of them,)
  23. p. 103, line 15Do you think it so easy to have me become your lover?
  24. p. 103, line 16Do you think the friendship of me would be unalloy'd satisfaction?
  25. p. 103, line 17Do you think I am trusty and faithful?
  26. p. 105, line 24And its look, rude, unbending, lusty, made me think of myself,
  27. p. 106, line 4(For I believe lately I think of little else than of them,)
  28. p. 106, line 5Yet it remains to me a curious token, it makes me think of manly love;
  29. p. 106, line 16I am not to speak to you, I am to think of you when I sit alone or wake at night alone,
  30. p. 110, line 1WHAT think you I take my pen in hand to record?
  31. p. 110, line 15But now I think there is no unreturn'd love, the pay is certain one way or another,
  32. p. 120, line 10I think some divine rapport has equalized me with them.
  33. p. 120, line 11You vapors, I think I have risen with you, moved away to distant continents, and fallen down there, for reasons,
  34. p. 120, line 12I think I have blown with you you winds;
  35. p. 122, line 18I think heroic deeds were all conceiv'd in the open air, and all free poems also,
  36. p. 122, line 19I think I could stop here myself and do miracles,
  37. p. 122, line 20I think whatever I shall meet on the road I shall like, and whoever beholds me shall like me,
  38. p. 122, line 21I think whoever I see must be happy.
  39. p. 124, line 16(I think they hang there winter and summer on those trees and always drop fruit as I pass;)
  40. p. 124, line 22I think it pervades the open air, waiting at all times,
  41. p. 152, line 3What do you think endures?
  42. p. 152, line 4Do you think a great city endures?
  43. p. 152, line 22Where the men and women think lightly of the laws,
  44. p. 165, line 19Think not our chant, our show, merely for products gross or lucre—it is for thee, the soul in thee, electric, spiritual!
  45. p. 170, line 5If you remember your foolish and outlaw'd deeds, do you think I cannot remember my own foolish and outlaw'd deeds?
  46. p. 173, line 8(Did you think it was in the white or gray stone? or the lines of the arches and cornices?)
  47. p. 189, line 7O I think the east wind brings a triumphal and free march,
  48. p. 198, line 29It is lagging—O I think it is heavy with love, with love.
  49. p. 199, line 9Whichever way I turn, O I think you could give me my mate back again if you only would,
  50. p. 207, line 11As I watch the bright stars shining, I think a thought of the clef of the universes and of the future.
  51. p. 210, line 21I do not think you belong here anyhow.
  52. p. 233, line 5Who do you think that was marching steadily sternly confronting death?
  53. p. 238, line 17I faithfully loved you and cared for you living, I think we shall surely meet again,)
  54. p. 240, line 14Young man I think I know you—I think this face is the face of the Christ himself,
  55. p. 243, line 2Yet I think I could not refuse this moment to die for you, if that would save you.
  56. p. 288, line 12Did we think victory great?
  57. p. 303, line 12Did you think there was nothing but two or three pronunciations in the sound of your name?
  58. p. 304, line 21I do not think it was made in six days, nor in ten thousand years, nor ten billions of years,
  59. p. 305, line 1I do not think seventy years is the time of a man or woman,
  60. p. 305, line 8And that I can think such thoughts as these is just as wonderful,
  61. p. 305, line 9And that I can remind you, and you think them and know them to be true, is just as wonderful.
  62. p. 312, line 6(I think O tongues ye tell this heart, that cannot tell itself,
  63. p. 321, line 30How should I think, how breathe a single breath, how speak, if, out of myself,
  64. p. 333, line 1TO think of time—of all that retrospection,
  65. p. 333, line 2To think of to-day, and the ages continued henceforward.
  66. p. 333, line 8To think that the sun rose in the east—that men and women were flexible, real, alive—that every thing was alive,
  67. p. 333, line 9To think that you and I did not see, feel, think, nor bear our part,
  68. p. 333, line 10To think that we are now here and bear our part.
  69. p. 333, line 25To think the thought of death merged in the thought of materials,
  70. p. 333, line 26To think of all these wonders of city and country, and others taking great interest in them, and we taking no interest in them.
  71. p. 334, line 1To think how eager we are in building our houses,
  72. p. 334, line 2To think others shall be just as eager, and we quite indifferent.
  73. p. 335, line 1To think that these are so much and so nigh to other drivers, and he there takes no interest in them.
  74. p. 335, line 2The markets, the government, the working-man's wages, to think what account they are through our nights and days,
  75. p. 335, line 3To think that other working-men will make just as great account of them, yet we make little or no account.
  76. p. 335, line 4The vulgar and the refined, what you call sin and what you call goodness, to think how wide a difference,
  77. p. 335, line 5To think the difference will still continue to others, yet we lie beyond the difference.
  78. p. 335, line 6To think how much pleasure there is,
  79. p. 335, line 11Your farm, profits, crops—to think how engross'd you are,
  80. p. 335, line 12To think there will still be farms, profits, crops, yet for you of what avail?
  81. p. 337, line 10Do you think I could walk pleasantly and well-suited toward annihilation?
  82. p. 337, line 20I swear I think now that every thing without exception has an eternal soul!
  83. p. 337, line 22I swear I think there is nothing but immortality!
  84. p. 342, line 4I do not doubt I am limitless, and that the universes are limitless, in vain I try to think how limitless,
  85. p. 342, line 9(Did you think Life was so well provided for, and Death, the purport of all Life, is not well provided for?)
  86. p. 342, line 12I do not think Life provides for all and for Time and Space, but I believe Heavenly Death provides for all.
  87. p. 343, line 9I do not think the performers know themselves—but now I think I begin to know them.
  88. p. 344, line 25I walk by myself—I stand and look at the stars, which I think now I never realized before.
  89. p. 347, line 12Such be the thought I'd think of thee America,
  90. p. 363, line 18And who has been happiest? O I think it is I—I think no one was ever happier than I,
  91. p. 363, line 20And who proudest? for I think I have reason to be the proudest son alive—for I am the son of the brawny and tall-topt city,
  92. p. 364, line 9Ah think not you finally triumph, my real self has yet to come forth,
  93. p. 366, line 1Nor think we forget thee maternal;
  94. p. 388, line 5Garner'd for now and thee—To think of it!
  95. p. 415, line 29An old man's garrulous lips among the rest, Think not we give out yet,
  96. p. 420, line 1MORE experiences and sights, stranger, than you'd think for;
  97. p. 426, line 17[…] republic itself to be, with its theory. (I think I have at least enough philosophy not to be too […]
