Now voyager...

Walt Whitman was a 19th Century American poet and essayist. He published a collection of poems called Leaves of Grass, which was thought obscene because of it's overt sexuality. He is generally regarded as an opposer to slavery and it's believed that he was gay or bisexual

Perhaps one of his most famous lines is from his poem The Untold Want, "The untold want, by life and land ne’er granted, Now, Voyager, sail thou forth, to seek and find." It was famously used as the title to the Bette Davis film, Now Voyager. Here's the most famous scene from the film. Cigarette sales went through the roof on its release.

Oh and happy birthday Walt...
