Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Wisdom of Walt Whitman: Selected and Edited, With Introduction The great difficulty that confronts the compiler of a volume of selections from Walt Whitman is suggested by John Addington Symonds, when he says, that to speak of Whitman is like talking about the universe. When the limitation of the collection is the wisdom of the poet the task is rather one of elimination than of selection. Even those who are repelled by the form of expression generally recognize the deep significance and rare wisdom of Whitman´s pregnant sentences. "What Walt Whitman has to say," writes Stevenson, "is another affair from how he says it. It is not possible to acquit any one of defective intelligence, or else stiff prejudice, who is not interested by Whitman´s matter and the spirit which it represents." Such a problem, indeed, confronts him who led into some rich mine is permitted to carry forth only his arms full of its treasure. From every rock, smooth or rough, gleams the precious metal; very easily he fills his arms, only to find at every turn new nuggets alluring him still hesitant to drop a single one already appropriated.
