The following section is for those
interested in Walt Whitman.
In the far South the sun of autumn is passing
like Walt Whitman walking along a ruddy shore.
He is singing and chanting the things that are part of him,
The worlds that were and will be, death and day.
Nothing is final, he chants. No man shall see the end.
His beard is of fire and his staff is a leaping flame.
D. H. Lawrence said:
"Whitman, the great poet, has meant so much to me. Whitman,
the one man breaking a way ahead."
William Carlos Williams said:
"I think our one major lead as Americans is to educe
and exploit the significance of Walt Whitman's formal
excursions--And nothing else!"
William James said:
Whitman discovered "the kind of fiber . . . which is the material
woven of all the excitements, joys, and meanings that ever will
be in this world."
Harold Bloom said:
"Whitman is the greatest artist his nation has brought forth....
One always wants to start fresh with Whitman and read him as
as though he has never been read before...Whitman, like Shakespeare
...tempts me to confront greatness directly, as though I could
be alone with his work...try to read as though you were Adam
early in the morning."
