Everywhere saying, say it, Walt, we believe it:
Everywhere, everywhere.
Bayard Taylor.
IMITATION OF WALT WHITMAN
WHO am I?
I have been reading Walt Whitman, and know not whether he be me, or me he;—
Or otherwise!
Oh, blue skies! oh, rugged mountains! oh, mighty, rolling Niagara!
Oh, chaos and everlasting bosh!
I am a poet; I swear it! If you do not believe it you are a dolt, a fool, an idiot!
