My favourite, and I love the ambiguity over the interpretation (I rarely agree with historians when it comes to most topics on literature and poetry, and this time is no different) 🤍🤎.

“I believe in the flesh and the appetites,
Seeing, hearing, feeling, are miracles, and each part and tag of me is a
miracle.
Divine am I inside and out, and I make holy whatever I touch or am touch'd
from,
The scent of these arm-pits aroma finer than prayer,
This head more than churches, bibles, and all the creeds.“
Remembering Walt Whitman on his birthday.
"Sounds of the Winter
Sounds of the winter too,
Sunshine upon the mountains - many a distant strain
From cheery railroad train - from nearer field, barn, house,
The whispering air - even the mute crops, garner'd apples, corn,
Children's and women's tones - rhythm of many a farmer and of flail,
An old man's garrulous lips among the rest, Think not we give out yet,
Forth from these snowy hairs we keep up yet the lilt."
I say when you find a Norton critical edition & you love getting lost in all the footnotes, get it !
#NortonCriticalEdition
A friend & I were conversing about Library Of America series . He bought a bunch of the slipcased ones from a guy that was downsizing for retirement.I kinda think I‘d want them for retirement!😁Just wanted to post the first one I ever bought , love Whitman!
Found this yesterday. I had no idea these existed♡ Authorized TV Adventure 1970
This was a gift for my seventh birthday in 1972. It contains “The Monkey‘s Paw” as well as two short stories by Robert Bloch, who wrote the original screenplay for “Psycho”. Whitman was a publisher of children‘s books till the 1980s. Now, they mostly publish coin and stamp collecting material. Happy Hallo-Weekend! 🎃
