Frases de Walt Whitman

Walter «Walt» Whitman fue un poeta, enfermero voluntario, ensayista, periodista y humanista estadounidense. Su trabajo se inscribe en la transición entre el trascendentalismo y el realismo filosófico, incorporando ambos movimientos a su obra. Está considerado entre los más influyentes escritores del canon estadounidense y ha sido llamado el padre del verso libre.[1]​ Su trabajo fue muy controvertido en su tiempo, en particular por su libro Hojas de hierba, descrito como obsceno por sus abiertas referencias a la homosexualidad.

Walt Whitman: Frases en inglés

“And as to me, I know nothing else but miracles”

“Some people are so much sunlight to the square inch. I am still bathing in the cheer he radiated.”

Conversation with Whitman (16 May 1888) as quoted in With Walt Whitman in Camden (1906) http://whitmanarchive.org/criticism/disciples/traubel/WWWiC/1/med.00001.49.html by Horace Traubel, Vol. I <!-- p. 166 -->
Contexto: There was a kind of labor agitator here today—a socialist, or something like that: young, a rather beautiful boy — full of enthusiasms: the finest type of the man in earnest about himself and about life. I was sorry to see him come: I am somehow afraid of agitators, though I believe in agitation: but I was more sorry to see him go than come. Some people are so much sunlight to the square inch. I am still bathing in the cheer he radiated. … Cheer! cheer! Is there anything better in this world anywhere than cheer — just cheer? Any religion better? — any art? Just cheer!

“I am satisfied… I see, dance, laugh, sing.”

“Your very flesh shall be a great poem…”

Walt Whitman libro Hojas de hierba

Variante: And your very flesh shall be a great poem.
Fuente: Leaves of Grass

“Love the earth and sun and animals,
Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,
Stand up for the stupid and crazy,
Devote your income and labor to others…
And your very flesh shall be a great poem.”

From the Preface to the 1855 edition of <i>Leaves of Grass</i>
Contexto: This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body. . . .

The poet shall not spend his time in unneeded work. He shall know that the ground is always ready ploughed and manured.... others may not know it but he shall. He shall go directly to the creation. His trust shall master the trust of everything he touches.... and shall master all attachment.
