To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I thank him for all the great and splendid words he has said in favor of liberty, in favor of man and woman, in favor of motherhood, in favor of fathers, in favor of children, and I thank him for the brave words that he has said of death. He has lived, he has died, and death is less terrible than it was before. Thousands and millions will walk down into the " dark valley of the shadow " holding Walt Whitman by the hand. Long after we are dead the brave words he has spoken will sound like trumpe...ts to the dying. And so I lay this little wreath upon this great man's tomb. I loved him living, and I love him still. JOHN BURROUGHS :* When I saw the crowds of common people that flocked to Walt Whitman's funeral to-day, I said, how fit, how touching, all this is ; how well it would please him. It is from the com- mon people, the great army of workers, that he rises and speaks with such power and authority. His poems are all attuned to broad, universal humanity. * Not uttered at Harleigh. Mr. Burroughs was present, but did not speak.
