The Americans, of all nations at any time upon the earth, have probably the fullest poetical Nature. The United States themselves are essentially the greatest poem. In the history of the earth hitherto the largest and most stirring appear tame and orderly to their ampler largeness and stir. Here at last is something in the doings of man that corresponds with the broadcast doings of the day and night. Here is not merely a nation, but a teeming nation of nations. Here is action untied from strings, necessarily blind to particulars and details, magnificently moving in vast masses.

Poems By Walt Whitman

Excerpt from Poemes de Walt Whitman: Version FrancaiseCelles des ouvriers, chacun chantant la sienne joyeuse et forte comme elle doit l'etre, Le charpentier qui chante la sienne en mesurant sa planche ou sa poutre, Le macon qui chante la sienne en se preparant au tra vail ou en le quittant, Le batelier qui chante ce qui est de sa partie dans son bateau, le marinier qui chante sur le pont du vapeur, Le cordonnier qui chante assis sur son banc, le cha pelier qui chante debout, Le chant du bucheron, celui du garcon de ferme en route dans le matin, ou au repos de midi ou a la tombee du jour, Le delicieux chant de la mere, ou de la jeune femme a son ouvrage, ou de la jeune fille qui coud ou qui lave, Chacun chantant ce qui lui est propre a lui ou a elle et a nul autre, Le jour, ce qui appartient au jour le soir, un groupe de jeunes gars, robustes, cordiaux, Qui chantent a pleine voix leurs melodieuses et males chansons.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Poèmes de Walt Whitman: Version Française (Classic Reprint)

Ambientato a New York, "Vita e avventure di Jack Engle" è un romanzo dalle atmosfere dickensiane, in cui le vicende di un avvocato avido e corrotto, una giovane orfana da lui ingannata e il protagonista Jack Engle, anch'egli orfano, si intrecciano tra ingiustizie sociali e soprusi sui più deboli, ma anche storie d'amicizia, di leatà e d'amore. Pubblicato in forma anonima nel 1852, il romanzo di Walt Whitman cadde nell'oblio, fino a quando Zachary Turpin, ricercatore della University of Houston, a seguito di alcune ricerche d'archivio e seguendo gli indizi forniti dai giornali dell'epoca, si imbatté nell'unica copia cartacea esistente e, nel febbraio del 2017, ne diede notizia al mondo. La scoperta risulta particolarmente interessante perché getta nuova luce sugli inizi della carriera letteraria di Whitman e perché rappresenta il testo in cui affonda le sue radici la celebre raccolta poetica "Foglie d'erba".

This carefully crafted ebook: "Leaves Of Grass: The First Edition of 1855 + The Death Bed Edition of 1892" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
Leaves of Grass is a poetry collection by Walt Whitman. Though the first edition was published in 1855, Whitman spent his entire life writing Leaves of Grass, revising it in several editions until his death. Whitman was intentional in not organizing the book in any chronological way. Instead, he was concerned with the journey of the poetry. He desired that the reader would see a self formed through the words and themes of the book. He writes poems of a political, social, personal, and sexual nature, all ideas that he will elaborate on in later sections.
Walt Whitman published and designed The First Edition of Leaves of Grass in 1855. The edition included twelve untitled poems, which were named in later editions. He included no mention of the author, only his name on the copyright and in one line of the first poem, which is later titled "Song of Myself".
Whitman's final edition, the 1891-92 edition, also known as "The Deathbed Edition," is simply grammatical corrections of the 1881 edition, and the addition of "November Boughs" as a supplement, "Good-Bye my Fancy" as a second supplement, and "A Backward Glance O'er Travell'd Roads" as the closing essay.
Walter "Walt" Whitman (1819 - 1892) was an American poet, essayist and journalist. His work was very controversial in its time, particularly his poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was described as obscene for its overt sexuality.

Leaves Of Grass: The First Edition of 1855 + The Death Bed Edition of 1892

En commen�ant mes �tudes le premier pas m'a plu si fort, Le simple fait de la conscience, ces formes, la motilit�, Le moindre insecte ou animal, les sens, la vue, l'amour, Le premier pas, dis-je, m'a frapp� d'un tel respect et plu si fort, Que je ne suis gu�re all� et n'ai gu�re eu envie d'aller plus loin, Mais de m'arr�ter � musarder tout le temps pour chanter cela en chants extasi�s.

Poèmes de Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman, le grand poète américain des Feuilles d'herbe, a professé une vive et durable admiration pour Abraham Lincoln - que l'on se souvienne des vers "O Captain ! My Captain !" que déclame le professeur Keating dans Le cercle des poètes disparus. Ils sont ce qu'on appelle des kindred spirits (des âmes soaurs), nourrissant pour l'Amérique une même vision démocratique alors que se profile la Guerre de Sécession. L'assassinat de Lincoln devient sous sa plume une tragédie majeure de l'Humanité, en la privant des principes républicains qui constituent l'âme même des Etats-Unis. Cette profession de foi n'a rien perdu de sa vigueur, de son enthousiasme appelant à une prise de conscience individuelle et collective salutaire.

Heed not those who would have you join a house of muscled exertion and toss your technological flim-flam into the long grass.

Undiscovered and unutilized for more than 150 years, here are the choice extracts from Mr Whitman's manifesto, which will provide you with a complete and exact science of manly virtue and vigour.

Walt Whitman's Guide to Manly Health and Training

En 1862, Walt Whitman part à la recherche de son frère, porté disparu sur les champs de bataille de la guerre de Sécession. Il découvre la situation épouvantable des hôpitaux militaires et refuse de rester indifférent. Poète engagé, humaniste, Whitman va mettre ses idéaux en application. Il décide de se consacrer aux blessés, d'accompagner les mourants, plaçant sa vie entre parenthèses durant trois ans. Quels que soient leur camp ou leur couleur, il apporte amitié, écoute et réconfort à ceux qui en ont besoin. Le soir, il écrit : des carnets pour se libérer, des articles pour témoigner, des lettres à sa mère pour s'épancher. Ces trois sources se complètent pour faire de "Tant que durera la guerre" un document intime, littéraire et historique unique.
