This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Uncollected Poetry and Prose of Walt Whitman, Vol. 1 of 2: Much of Which Has Been but Recently Discovered, With Various Early Manuscripts Now First Published For some reason Whitman seems to have preferred that his past, particularly the period before 18 5 5 and certain later periods, should remain secret except in so far as he himself might be willing to illuminate it. That was, of course, the privilege of the living poet; but it is as clearly the duty of the biographer who writes long after his death to seek in that past, and especially in the literary records of that past, the true evolution of the man and the writer. There were two probable reasons why Whitman thus did his part in intensifying the shadow cast upon his youth and young manhood by the dis proportionately brilliant light of those minute chronicles written by friends who had known him only in old age: (a) the early work of his pen was decidedly inferior and uninspired, and (b) Whitman found it congenial and convenient, as have most prophets, not only to cast in his lot with the future, but also rather sedulously to cultivate the obscurity of his own past. Moses must emerge from the desert and Mahomet from his mountain in order to obtain a hearing; Whitman followed a similar prophetic instinct in his efforts to make a picturesque and romantic wilderness of his own early environment. To that extent his autobiography as hitherto known is unrealistic. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I must follow up these continual lessons of the air, water, earth, I perceive I have no time to lose. sea-drift out of the cradle endlessly rocking Out of the cradle endlessly rocking, Out of the mocking-bird's throat, the musical shuttle, Out of the Ninth-month midnight, Over the sterile sands and the fields beyond, where the child leaving his bed wander'd alone, bareheaded, barefoot, Down from the shower'd halo, Up from the mystic play of shadows twining and twisting as if they were alive, Out from the patches of briers and blackberries, From the memories of the bird that chanted to me, From your memories sad brother, from the fitful risings and fallings I heard, From under that yellow half-moon late-risen and swollen as if with tears, From those beginning notes of yearning and love there in the mist, From the thousand responses of my heart never to cease, From the myriad thence-arous'd words, From the word stronger and more delicious than any, From such as now they start the scene revisiting, As a flock, twittering, rising, or overhead passing, Borne hither, ere all eludes me, hurriedly, A man, yet by these tears a little boy again, Throwing myself on the sand, confronting the waves, I, chanter of pains and joys, uniter of here and hereafter, Taking all hints to use them, but swiftly leaping beyond them, A reminiscence sing. Once Paumanok, When the lilac-scent was in the air and Fifth-month grass was growing, Up this seashore in some briers, Two feather'd guests from Alabama, two together, And their nest, and four light-green eggs spotted with brown, And every day the he-bird to and fro near at hand, And every day the she-bird crouch'd on her nest, silent, with bright eyes, And every day I, a curious boy, never too close, never...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Uncollected Poetry and Prose of Walt Whitman, Vol. 1 of 2: Much of Which Has Been but Recently Discovered With Various Early Manuscripts Now First Publlished The penning of these few sentences carries us back to other times - to events and days altogether unknown to the busy and swarming crowds of modern Brooklyn. We can almost see the Old Ferry, and the rude houseboats crossing, the pilot steering by the ancient tiller.2 We can almost think we see the rows of great elm trees shading Fulton street, and the unpaved sidewalks, with plenty of grass. We would walk down Love Lane, and stand upon Clover Hill, and view the. Bay and river. We cannot resist the inclination to indulge in a few reminiscences.
