As I Sat Alone By Blue Ontario's Shores Comments

Independent American first and last, Poet Walt Whitman is simply magnanimous, marvelous and magnificent in his poetic out pouring of his inner spirit quite amazing to read through this majestic poem quite wonderful and inspiring!

And I saw the free Souls of poets; The loftiest bards of past ages strode before me, Strange, large men, long unwaked, undisclosed, were disclosed to me.......great write. Beautiful poem.

We wield ourselves as a weapon is wielded, We are powerful and tremendous in ourselves, We are executive in ourselves- We are sufficient in the variety of ourselves, very good poem. tony

A long but fascinating piece, worthy of accolades.

As I sat alone... A typical Walt Whitman piece, a long poem that still retains its grip till the end.

The essence of Whitman is contained in these lines: I will confront these shows of the day and night! / I will know if I am to be less than they! / I will see if I am not as majestic as they! / I will see if I am not as subtle and real as they! / I will see if I am to be less generous than they!

A Nation announcing itself! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Whitman calls on poets of America, of democracy, poets everywhere to 'tally the ocean's roar and the eagle's scream', and not to be gnats and dots. It is a long and patriotic poem.

RESPONSE NUMBER ONE: ONE MY COMMENT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, but Here first I cite WW: A Nation announcing itself, I myself make the only growth by which I can be appreciated,10 I reject none, accept all, then reproduce all in my own forms.
