Leaves of Grass: the Complete Deathbed Edition |

@TheBookHippie I found the death bed edition as an audiobook for about $15. I figured maybe hearing it would be better and make it clearer. I‘ve get this ready with the edition you suggested for later in the year. There will be poetry not about oceans. 😏

“That you are here—that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.”
Enjoying some poetry before work
"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. So medicine, law, business, engineering...these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love...these are what we stay alive for."
When every line is worth a quote #whatamasteroflanguage #waltwhitman #leavesofgrass
Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you.
You must travel it by yourself.
It is not far. It is within reach.
Perhaps you have been on it since you were born, and did not know.
Perhaps it is everywhere - on water and land.
Believe it or not, I've actually never read LEAVES OF GRASS all the way through. #BadHistorian
Catching up on #Riotgrams Days 7-10! So that's #welllovedreads (The Stand - my third copy after the previous two fell apart...), #booksandicecream (my favourite flavour), #lgbtqpride (Leaves of Grass is a favourite summer read), and #booksinthewild (it's raining so wild boys and a cactus will have to do!)
"If no other in the world be aware I sit content, and if each and all be aware I sit content." - Walt Whitman
Poetry was intended to be annotated in the ugliest fashion possible; you cannot convince me otherwise. 📖🖊
Starting #24in48 with Walt again, but with optimism today. Yes, Walt, today, and every day, is something. We are now here "to bear our part" in this thing called life.
Starting #24in48 with Walt...in mourning. Seems to capture where I am one day later.
Uncle Walt on destiny. Play the long game and don't give up.
Ending #thankfullyreading weekend with a classic. To be honest, I don't know if I have read before in entirety. Might not finish today but definitely will begin.
