- “We were together. I forget the rest.” Today is the birthday of poet Walt Whitman (1819 –1892), born in West Hills, Long Island, and raised in Brooklyn.
Great quote
I suspect I’ve posted this before, but Whitman is always worthy a repost.

Victorians had bromance so hard to ascribe a gay context, but this is pretty queer 🙂

Ol’ Oscar. Did you know he was rumoured to have nothing but a beautiful blue chinese vases with lillies in them in his rooms at Oxford – I think certainly he decorated his room with those, but that rumour made me think of a bare room with nothing but a single vase, Dorian Gray style…where all one needed was art.
