“Not my favorite author...but a fun thing to find!”

Nor mine. To the extent that I never, NEVER stop at the Walt Whitman rest stop on the Jersey Tpke. (Is that obsessive behavior?)

Emerson (also not a favorite of mine) said that he (Whitman) wrote the nation’s inventories, not its songs. Talk about a self-promoting pipsqueak, Whitman came out with his own poetic criticism to justify the greatness of his poetry.
