This new collection is taken from the final version, the Deathbed edition, and it includes his most famous poems such as Song of Myself and I Sing the Body Electric.
A tiny book that has been sitting beautifully on my shelf since summer, on a whim, and with total disregard of the books that I planned to read this month, I picked it up.
I dont think there was a single moment when I regretted it, Although I did not care for all of the poems, which is only to be expected, of course, the majority of this collection stole my heart, and I was high on the beauty of the language for the rest of the day.
The way he wrote about nature, and humanitys role in it, and the way his words flowed, seemed to follow the rules of another universe.
You were hooked into his sentences greenery, rivers, the smell of the outdoors, every aspect played before your eyes, you would become absorbed by his writing, and it would come as a shock, a stumble, to see his poem finish and another begin.
Song of Myself I could talk about it forever, after reading this poem, I dont think anyone can forget the feeling that arises from it.
My favourite from this collection were, along with the aforementioned: I Sing the Body Electric, We Two Boys together Clinging, When I Heard the Learnd Astronomer, The Artillerymans Vision, As I Lat with My Head in Your Lap Camerado, Spirit whose work is done, The City DeadHouse, The Sleepers and A Noiseless Patient Spider.
The rest fell a little flat, but even so, some separate phrases were definitely note worthy, Overall a collection worth reading, perhaps you will, like me, discover some new favourites, Id like to conclude this brief review with some quotes from this work, Four, hence four quotes:
,
“Old age superbly rising! O welcome, ineffable grace of dying days!”
”And as to you Death, and you bitter hug of mortality, it is idle to try to alarm me.
”
”As if any man really knew aught of my life, Why even I myself I often think know little or nothing of my real life”
”Have you no thought O dreamer that it may be all maya, illusion” One of the best book purchases I've made this year.
Several of the poems really had an effect on me, Song of Myself is wonderful, contains so many good lines,
