considerando a extensao do leaves of grass, acho que dava pra montar uma compilaçao mais coesa. pra nos nao-estadunidenses pode ser um enfado ler tantos poemas sobre a grandeza e o futuro brilhante da naçao americana 🦅🍔 mas diz muito sobre o idealismo que ainda era possivel na epoca. se transportassem o whitman pro seculo xxi ele possivelmente se mataria na nossa frente

(Who are you? and what are you secretly guilty of all your life?
Will you turn aside all your life? will you grub and chatter all your life?
And who are you, blabbing by rote, years, pages, languages, reminiscences,
Unwitting to-day that you do now know how to speak properly a single word?)

Whitman;s style of writing really isn't for me, the style of the poetry is long and lengthy meaning that it tends to have no rhythm and is just a long string of thoughts and ideas. I find there is no fluency or poetic elegance to his writing. Although the descriptions, similes and euphemisms he uses are beautiful, i think they would be put to better use inside a novella or novel.
