Description
These are selected poems of Walt Whitman, the great poet and author of one book: "Leaves of Grass". Walt Whitman was the poet of the self and the poet of Democracy with a large "D"". The theme of the poems in Walt Whitman's book is man's all encompassing self and its relationship to the the world and the universe. A sample of Walt's songs: One's self I sing, a simple, separate person. Yet utter the word: Democracy. The word En Masse. Of physiology from top to toe I sing, not the face alone, nor the soul alone, nor the body alone, but the form complete is worthier far. Of Man and Woman I sing. The Modern Man I sing. I project the history of the future.
