Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from With Walt Whitman in Camden: July 16 October 31, 1888 "So far as good meals and a relish of them would prove," said W., as evening wore on, "this has been for me a better day - a best day altogether." Said he was getting "venturesome," enjoying "high hopes of a positive rally." "But," he wound up with saying, "we had better not brag." "I read over the entire Sands at Seventy this afternoon, doing so to get them in total view - to see them together in their proportions, places - to get their general atmosphere. I find myself much better able to appreciate a piece if I put it aside for a time after it is written - for months, even years: returning to it with fresh spirit." Spoke of the Harneds - "parents and children: their constant, untiring attentions." Again: "I ought to die but I have promised you to live to finish this book." I had been out on the Wissahickon with Anne Montgomerie. "That reminds me," said W., "that years ago I thought some of pitching my own tent out there - squatting - loafing the rest of my days in that vicinity. I cannot be said even now to have wholly given up the idea: though I don´t suppose that it matters much where I happen to spend the rest of my days. And you are right, too, Horace, about abandon - the giving in to the hour - steering clear of mental botheration - particularly of the botheration how to be good and all that. Oh! I love that beautiful country - that long road along the creek - even the very fence - (the long lines of the fence up hill and down - the rugged, knotty lines): some of my happiest hours have been spent there - some of my freest hours."
