Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from November Boughs Perhaps the best of songs heard, or of any and all true love, or lifes fairest episodes, or sailors, soldiers trying scenes on land or sea, is the risume of them, or any of them, long afterwards, looking at the actualities away back past, with all their practical excitations gone. How the soul loves to float amid such reminiscences! So here I sit gossiping in the early candle-light of old age - I and my book - casting backward glances over our travel´d road. After completing, as it were, the journey - (a varied jaunt of years, with many halts and gaps of intervals - or some lengthen´d ship-voyage, wherein more than once the last hour had apparently arrived, and we seem´d certainly going down - yet reaching port in a sufficient way through all discomfitures at last) - After completing my poems, I am curious to review them in the light of their own (at the time unconscious, or mostly unconscious) intentions, with certain unfoldings of the thirty years they seek to embody. These lines, therefore, will probably blend the weft of first purposes and speculations, with the warp of that experience afterwards, always bringing strange developments. Result of seven or eight stages and struggles extending through nearly thirty years, (as I nigh my three-score-and-ten I live largely on memory,) I look upon "Leaves of Grass," now finished to the end of its opportunities and powers, as my definitive carte visite to the coming generations of the New World, if I may assume to say so.
