To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All goes onward and outward no thing collapses; And to die is different from what any one sup posed, and luckier. Has any one supposed it lucky to be born? I hasten to inform him or her, it is just as lucky to die, and I know it. " If Whitman differs from Emerson in his passion for society and for all the communal interests of man, he again resembles him in his wariness of the past. His caution is far more obvious, however, in his manner than in his ideas, for his robust faith in the new WALT W...HITMAN day brushed easily aside those cobweb bonds of the ancestors from which Emerson extri cated himself only with much finesse. It was rather in the language of his poetry that Whitman was on his guard against the past. In this point of view he has been much mis understood. He loved the classics of poetry, and had no reform to make in any past age. He did not, like Wordsworth, crusade against artificial diction, nor did he propose for him self any diction notably simple or natural; his lines are full of unusual words, even words from other languages.
