Extractions: WALT WHITMAN AND RALPH WALDO EMERSON This section of the site includes two letters, one by Emerson and one by Whitman that became a part of the second edition of Leaves of Grass . This exchange began as a private note of encouragement from Emerson, a well-known poet and lecturer, to an obscure journalist at the beginning of his poetic career. The following letter to Whitman from Ralph Waldo Emerson, 21 July 1855 is among the most famous letters ever written to an aspiring writer. Here Emerson suggests the complex foreground that preceded the publication of Leaves of Grass . Without asking Emerson's permission, Whitman gave this private letter to Charles Dana for publication in the New York Tribune on October, 1855. DEAR SIRI am not blind to the worth of the wonderful gift of "LEAVES OF GRASS." I find it the most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom that America has yet contributed. I am very happy in reading it, as great power makes us happy. It meets the demand I am always making of what seemed the sterile and stingy nature, as if too much handiwork, or too much lymph in the temperament, were making our western wits fat and mean.

Walt Whitman - Biography And Poems By AmericanPoems.com
Etext of works and brief biography.
http://www.AmericanPoems.com/poets/waltwhitman/

Extractions: Books by Whitman Walt Whitman was born on May 31, 1819, on the West Hills of Long Island, New York. His mother, Louisa Van Velsor, of Dutch descent and Quaker faith, whom he adored, was barely literate. She never read his poetry, but gave him unconditional love. His father of English lineage, was a carpenter and builder of houses, and a stern disciplinarian. His main claim to fame was his friendship with Tom Paine, whose pamphlet Common Sense (1776), urging the colonists to throw off English domination was in his sparse library. It is doubtful that his father read any of his son's poetry, or would have understood it if he had. The senior Walt was too burdened with the struggle to support his ever-growing family of nine children, four of whom were handicapped. Young Walt, the second of nine, was withdrawn from public school at the age of eleven to help support the family. At the age of twelve he started to learn the printer's trade, and fell in love with the written and printed word. He was mainly self-taught. He read voraciously, and became acquainted with Homer, Dante, Shakespeare and Scott early in life. He knew the Bible thoroughly, and as a God-intoxicated poet, desired to inaugurate a religion uniting all of humanity in bonds of friendship. In 1836, at the age of 17, he began his career as an innovative teacher in the one-room school houses of Long Island. He permitted his students to call him by his first name, and devised learning games for them in arithmetic and spelling. He continued to teach school until 1841, when he turned to journalism as a full-time career. He soon became editor for a number of Brooklyn and New York papers. From 1846 to 1847 Whitman was the editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. Whitman went to New Orleans in 1848, where he was editor for a brief time of the "New Orleans Crescent". In that city he had become fascinated with the French language. Many of his poems contain words of French derivation. It was in New Orleans that he experienced at first hand the viciousness of slavery in the slave markets of that city.

Constructing Walt Whitman
Constructing walt whitman The Critics Contend with the Good G(r)ay Poet.
http://sunset.backbone.olemiss.edu/~jmitchel/walt.htm

Extractions: The Critics Contend With the Good G(r)ay Poet I have chosen to limit this study to the reactions of Whitman's admirers for the simple reason that the opinions of his detractors have remained static. Early critics, like later ones, violently objected to Whitman's technique and subject matter. Among them was Henry James, who at the age of 22 wrote a vicious attack on Whitman, but later came to appreciate his work and to regret deeply the "little atrocity" that he "perpetrated (on W.W.) in the gross impudence of youth" (Allen Solitary Singer 578n). (For an interesting discussion of how James' change of heart paralleled the development of his own identity, see Savoy.) Many, many others, notably Secretary of the Interior James Harlan and Boston district attorney Oliver Stevens, have been content to dismiss the poet as simply a libertine or pervert (Reynolds 455, 540). These same reactions are common enough today. Betsy Erkkila relates the case of a public service announcement dealing with Whitman's sexual orientation (in an attempt to offer support to lesbian and gay teenagers) that was refused by all six Philadelphia television stations, in two cases on the advice of the director of the Walt Whitman Poetry Center, who feared that the announcement would be "detrimental" to the Center's educational efforts.

http://xroads.virginia.edu/~CAP/hospital/whitman.htm

Extractions: Washington's Civil War Hospitals By: Angel Price Walt Whitman 1848 Campbell Hospital Armory Hospital Before the war began, Washington was a relatively rural town with limited medical accommodations. There were no military hospitals and very few medical facilities. Yet by the end of the Civil War there were approximately fifty hospitals marking the Washington landscape. Their beginnings were in the tents of regiments of soldiers. The regulations provided that there be a hospital tent in proportion to the number of men within each regiment. Whitman writes one of the most accurate descriptions of field hospitals in a letter to his mother in 1864: Soldiers were kept in the field hospitals indefinitely and often sent on to Washington after their conditions had so worsened as to make surviving the trip almost impossible. When the regimental tent was full, a nearby home or building was usually commandeered and converted for medical care. Although intended as temporary units, these regimental tents and field hospitals were soon clustered together to make larger accommodations of hospital camps that eventually spotted the city.8

Extractions: WELCOME CAMERADOSTHE NAME IS WHITMAN, WALT WHITMANWELL, NOT REALLY. I have loved the poetry of Walt Whitman, studied his life so assiduously (I first bicycled to his birthplace in West Hills, Long Island, New York when I was nine years old in 1939) and now so closely resemble him as he appeared in his "Good Grey Poet" period, that I may be excused for so completely identifying with our greatest poet. My real name is Darrel Blaine Ford, although when young I often used the name Velsor Brush (one of Whitman's early noms de plume). I have lived on Long Island all of my 70 years and have been a teacher and the director of a youth organization. I grew up in close proximity to Whitman "country" (i.e. Huntington and Babylon Townships from the Long Island Sound to the Great South Bay) and one of my teachers was a collateral descendant of Walt. Unlike old Walt, I am a proud father of five and a grandfather. A regular feature will be the Whitman quote of the month.

Para fundamentar mi afirmación, en el título de este breve trabajo, me basaré en la primera estrofa de tres versos del texto original: "Song of myself" de Walt Whitman, incluido en el citado libro Hojas de hierba ; (Whitman, 1991: p. 20) y en las traducciones de Armando Vasseur (Vassseur, 1997: p. 89), León Felipe (Felipe, 1997: p. 25), y Jorge Luis Borges (Borges, 1991: p. 21). Desde la traducción del título "Song of myself" empezamos a notar las diferencias entre los tres porque el sustantivo Song no lleva el artículo y la preposición of significa ‘de’. Vasseur lo traduce como "Del canto de mí mismo"; si con arbitrio él selecciona estrofas, debería ser "De Canto a mí mismo"; pero él agrega el sustantivo contracto.

Extractions: via Walt Whitman An Undertaking The pages attached to this site are intended to provide a little interlude of nourishment for eyes, ears and mind. When you click here or on the image to the left, you'll see a brief prologue and then be taken on a series of visits to places in the world of the Mandelbrot Set. Each visit is enhanced, I hope, by passages from Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass", and by evocative music from composers on the web. I hope you happen to be visiting on a day when you're not too rushed. The pictures and music do take a while to load. On top of which, I am trying to entice you to linger with them a while. If I've done my job, at least one or two will speak to you. I think the display is best at 640 x 480, where it more than fills the screen, but maybe that's just me. 16-bit color is best. An Explanation The Mandelbrot Set emerges from the behavior of a famously simple mathematical function. The Set itself is like a black hole in the abstract space it inhabits. Most of that space is a vast, featureless void almost unaffected by the presence of the Set. But the points near its boundary are torn between the pull of infinity and the pull of the Set. When their behavior is coded in colors, the result is a beautiful filigree of infinite depth and complexity.
