Do I contradict Myself in My Posts?

I have used this quote so many times in my life it is about time that I give it the proper recognition that it deserves. So honest and so true, so raw,... are there any other words to describe the Great American Poet Walt Whitman?

"Do I contradict myself? Very well, then, I contradict myself; (I am large—I contain multitudes.)"

-Walt Whitman.

I feel like Ralph Waldo Emerson, (who tried to contain the poet who he described has "quintessentially American") when I say that I haven't always liked his poetry. I found a copy of his famous Leaves of Grass a number of years ago at a garage sale. Reading through it at first I thought a lot of his poems to be over-bloated, ramblings. But, there are some moments so true, so raw, so real in Whitman's writing that you cannot ignore this poet. Here is to you Walt Whitman!
