Frases de Walt Whitman
página 6

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

“I find I'm a good deal more of a socialist than I thought I was: maybe not technically, politically, so, but intrinsically, in my meanings.”

Conversation with Whitman (July 16 1888) as quoted in With Walt Whitman in Camden (1906) https://whitmanarchive.org/criticism/disciples/traubel/WWWiC/2/med.00002.2.html by Horace Traubel, Vol. II

“The paths to the house I seek to make,
But leave to those to come the house itself.”

Thou Mother with thy Equal Brood, 1
Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919)

“I see great things in baseball, It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism, tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set, repair those losses and be a blessing to us.”

This has been widely attributed to Whitman, and no one else, but without definite source. It has sometimes been cited as being from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle (sometimes with a date of 23 July 1846), where Whitman had been an editor, but its presence on that date is not apparent in the online historical archives http://www.brooklynpubliclibrary.org/eagle/ of that publication.
Brian Cronin, in "Did 'Bull Durham' misquote Walt Whitman on baseball?" http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-bull-durham-baseball-20120328,0,5200453.story, Los Angeles Times (28 March 2012), suggests that this is (loosely) paraphrased from a remark of September 1888 reported in Horace L. Traubel, With Walt Whitman in Camden, Vol. 2:
I like your interest in sports ball, chiefest of all base-ball particularly: base-ball is our game: the American game: I connect it with our national character. Sports take people out of doors, get them filled with oxygen generate some of the brutal customs (so-called brutal customs) which, after all, tend to habituate people to a necessary physical stoicism. We are some ways a dyspeptic, nervous set: anything which will repair such losses may be regarded as a blessing to the race. We want to go out and howl, swear, run, jump, wrestle, even fight, if only by so doing we may improve the guts of the people: the guts, vile as guts are, divine as guts are!

He was hilarious: "That's beautiful: the hurrah game! well — it's our game: that's the chief fact in connection with it: America's game: has the snap, go fling, of the American atmosphere — belongs as much to our institutions, fits into them as significantly, as our constitutions, laws: is just as important in the sum total of our historic life."
Conversation with Whitman (4 July 1889) as quoted in With Walt Whitman in Camden (1906) by Horace Traubel, Vol. IV
