Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Good-Bye My Fancy: 2d Annex to Leaves of Grass Had I not better withhold (in this old age and paralysis of me) such little tags and fringe-dots (maybe specks, stains,) as follow a long dusty journey, and witness it afterward? I have probably not been enough afraid of careless touches, from the first - and am not now - nor of parrot-like repetitions - nor platitudes and the commomplace. Perhaps I am too democratic for such avoidances. Besides, is not the verse-field, as originally plann´d by my theory, now sufficiently illustrated - and full time for me to silently retire? - (indeed amid no loud call or market for my sort of poetic utterance.) In answer, or rather defiance, to that kind of well-put interrogation, here comes this little cluster, and conclusion of my preceding clusters. Though not at all clear that, as here collated, it is worth printing (certainly I have nothing fresh to write) - I while away the hours of my 72d year - hours of forced confinement in my den - by putting in shape this small old age collation: Last droplets of and after spontaneous rain, From many limpid distillations and past showers; (Will they germinate anything? mere exhalations as they all are - the land´s and sea´s - Americas; Will they filter to any deep emotion? any heart and brain?) However that may be, I feel like improving to-day´s opportunity and wind up. During the last two years I have sent out, in the lulls of illness and exhaustion, certain chirps lingering-dying ones probably (undoubtedly) - which now I may as well gather and put in fair type while able to see correctly - (for my eyes plainly warn me they are dimming, and my brain more and more palpably neglects or refuses, month after month, even slight tasks or revisions.)
