What Makes Life Worth Living

Walt Whitman, recovering from a paralytic stroke, as he contemplated what makes life worth living

After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality, love, and so on — have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear — what remains?  Nature remains… the trees, fields, the changes of seasons — the sun by day and the stars of heaven by night.
