Walt Whitman at the Metro

My son and I went to the Dupont Circle Metro stop on Sunday, and there was a wonderful prose quote from Walt Whitman engraved on the stone walls of the escalator. It has to do with his service in Civil War hospitals.
I can't find the exact quote online (I didn't write it down).

There was a terrific story about Walt Whitman in Best American Short Stories one year, called "Every Night for a Thousand Years".
