81. "The Poetry Of Barbarism" By George Santayana
    An essay which includes criticism of walt whitman.  
    http://www.english.upenn.edu/~afilreis/88/whitman-per-santayana.html
    
    Extractions: from Interpretations of Poetry and Religion Go directly to the section of this essay about Whitman. I With all these lessons of experience behind them, however, we find our contemporary poets incapable of any high wisdom, incapable of any imaginative rendering of human life and its meaning. Our poets are things of shreds and patches; they give us episodes and studies, a sketch of this curiosity, a glimpse of that romance; they have no total vision, no grasp of the whole reality, and consequently no capacity for a sane and steady idealization. The comparatively barbarous ages had a poetry of the ideal; they had visions of beauty, order, and perfection. This age of material elaboration has no sense for those things. Its fancy is retrospective, whimsical, and flickering; its ideals, when it has any, are negative and partial; its moral strength is a blind and miscellaneous vehemence. Its poetry, in a word, is the poetry of barbarism. In these latter times, with the prodigious growth of material life in elaboration and of mental life in diffusions there has supervened upon this old dualism a new faith in man's absolute power, a kind of return to the inexperience and self-assurance of youth. This new inspiration has made many minds indifferent to the two traditional disciplines; neither is seriously accepted by them, for the reason, excellent from their own point of view, that no discipline whatever is needed. The memory of ancient disillusions has faded with time. Ignorance of the past has bred contempt for the lessons which the past might teach. Men prefer to repeat the old experiment without knowing that they repeat it.

    Extractions: US poet. He published Leaves of Grass (1855), which contains the symbolic Song of Myself . It used unconventional free verse (with no rhyme or regular rhythm) and scandalized the public by its frank celebration of sexuality. His poems were often set by composers such as Hindemith, Vaughan Williams, Henze, and Delius. Born at West Hill (Huntington, Long Island), New York, as a young man Whitman worked as a printer, teacher, and journalist. In 1865 he published Drum-Taps , a volume inspired by his work as an army nurse during the Civil War. Democratic Vistas (1871) is a collection of his prose pieces. He also wrote an elegy for Abraham Lincoln

87. Mark Twain Walt Whitman
    A Talk Delivered April 4, 1992 to the Mark Twain Association of New York. P. Salwen article.

    Extractions: to the Mark Twain Association of New York Last month, as you probably know, marked the hundredth anniversary of Walt Whitman's death. Whitman, of course, was the great poet of New York, and many cultural institutions and groups are now honoring him with a two-month-long celebration that continues through the end of May. If you venture about five miles down Broadway from here, to the corner of Bleecker Street, you'll find yourself in front of a curious literary landmark. There's nothing to show it the ground floor today contains a Korean greengrocer and the rest of it seems to be used as some sort of warehouse but in this building a link was formed between the two literary giants of nineteenth-century America, Walt Whitman and Mark Twain. In the years leading up to the Civil War, a noisy bohemian group led by Whitman and the publisher Henry Clapp used to crowd into Pfaff's beer cellar under theBroadway pavement. Clapp was the publisher of the Saturday Press

89. Walt Whitman (1819-1892)
    Analysis of several of whitman's works,by Betsy Eikkila, part of an online syllabus.  
    http://www.hmco.com/college/english/heath/syllabuild/iguide/whitman.html
    
    Extractions: Walt Whitman (1819-1892) Contributing Editor: Betsy Eikkila I use the 1855 versions of "Song of Myself" and "The Sleepers" because I think these poems represent Whitman at his unrevised best. I begin with a biographical introduction, stressing Whitman's active engagement as radical Democrat and party journalist in the major political conflicts of pre-Civil War America. The inscription poem "One's-Self I Sing" and his vision of the poet balanced between pride and sympathy in the 1855 Preface serve as a good introduction to "Song of Myself." I usually begin by asking the students to talk about Whitman's free verse technique. What ordering devices does he use in the opening lines to achieve his poetic design: these include repetition, biblical parallelism, rhythmic recurrence, assonance, and consonance. Section 15 is a good illustration of the ways Whitman's catalog technique serves as a democratizing device, inscribing the pattern of many and one. By basing his verse in the single, end-stopped line at the same time that he fuses this linethrough various linking deviceswith the larger structure of the whole, Whitman weaves an overall pattern of unity in diversity. This pattern of many and onethe e pluribus unum that was the revolutionary seal of the American republicis the overarching figure of Leaves of Grass I present "Song of Myself" as a drama of democratic identity in which the poet seeks to balance and reconcile major conflicts in the body politic of America: the conflict between "separate person" and "en masse," individualism and equality, liberty and union, the South and the North, the farm and the city, labor and capital, black and white, female and male, religion and science. One can discuss any of the individual sections of the poem in relation to this conflict. Moments of particular conflict and crisis occur in sections 28 and 38. I ask the students to discuss the specific nature of the crisis in each of these sections. Both involve a loss of balance.

    http://www.harpers.org/WaltWhitman.html
    
    Extractions: Whitman, Walt Sources American poet, journalist, and essayist. Born near Huntington, Long Island. He learned the printing trade and worked in Brooklyn and Manhattan, spending the next 15 years alternating between printing and writing jobs, with an interval as a schoolteacher. He became editor of the Brooklyn Eagle in 1846. He traveled to New Orleans and founded a short-lived journalistic venture, the paper The Freeman folded in a year. After publishing just a few poems, in 1855 he published a strikingly original book of poetry, Leaves of Grass , with 12 untitled poems. It was not well received. In 1862, he went to the front in Virginia to be with his soldier brother George, who had been wounded. Walt took a part time job, ministering to wounded soldiers. His later poems about the war were eventually collected and published as "Drum Taps" and later incorporated in Leaves of Grass . They are, along with the photographs of Matthew Brady, among the precious records of the American Civil War. Whitman revised and added to the original edition for the rest of his life. After a stroke, he moved to Camden, NJ, lectured in the East, Colorado and Canada and continued to publish new editions. His house in Camden became a center for writers and artists from all over the world. In 1881, the permanent order of Leaves of Grass was established; all later work was assigned to an annex. The final edition was issued in 1892, at which time he had become a legend.

95. Whitman Per Mother Bloor
    From the autobiography entitled We Are Many, by Ella Reeve Bloor.  
    http://www.english.upenn.edu/~afilreis/88/whitman-per-bloor.html
    
    Extractions: from the autobiography entitled New York: International Publishers, 1940, pp. 19-24 When I was about twelve years old, Papa often took me with him to visit his sister, Hannah, who lived on Mickle Street in Camden, where Walt Whitman lived. I took my place among the children of the neighborhood who loved him, and gathered around the marble steps where he came to sit in the evening. He wore a gray plaid shawl around his shoulders and a big soft hat on his head. The house still stands there, exactly as he left it. Only the other day I went to visit it, and saw the little frame house standing as always, the low stone steps where we gathered in the evening. "Here lived the Good Gray Poet," reads the plaque on the front of the house. But it did not need this to bring back my own memories of him, clear and bright. When Papa went on his shopping trips to Philadelphia, he would leave me in the Camden ferry house. When I thought he was going to be gone for a long time I'd go aboard the ferry-boat and go back and forth without paying. After a while I found out that Walt Whitman did the same thing. He recognized me and we would sit together. I wondered why nobody stopped either of us. I found out later that he was the honored guest of all the ferry hands. On the ferry- boat I felt I was a partner in a great adventure. That was the height of happiness, watching the people with him, watching the water. As I remember, he did not talk very much, but I felt we had a deep understanding between us.

     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.
