We were together I forgot the rest

Walt Whitman (/ˈhwɪtmən/; May 31, 1819 – March 26, 1892) was an American poet, essayist, and journalist.Whitman's major work, Leaves of Grass, was first published in 1855. The work was an attempt at reaching out to the common person with an American epic. This is a bit of a paraphrase from his poem, Leaves of Grass: It actually says, “Day by day and night by night we were together,—All else has long been forgotten by me.”⠀
