Seite 334 - Shadows of deepest, deepest black, just lit by moving candles and lamps, And by one great pitchy torch stationary with wild red flame and clouds of smoke, By these, crowds, groups of forms vaguely I see on the floor, some in the pews laid down, At my feet more distinctly a soldier, a mere lad, in danger of bleeding to death, (he is shot in the abdomen,) I staunch the blood temporarily, (the youngster's face is white as a lily,) Then before I depart I sweep my eyes o'er the scene fain to absorb it...
Seite 501 - I understood him, making allusion so much to the form as to the spirit of the book — the underlying recognition of facts which were the peculiar property of the Grecian. That was all long, long ago. I have heard nothing of Sam for many years — seen nothing of him: whether he still entertains those old views I do not know. That standing portrait of me was much hatchelled by the fellows at the time — war was waged on it: it passed through a great fire of criticism. There was Launt Thompson: you...
Seite 174 - My younger life was so saturated with the emotions, raptures, up-lifts, of such musical experiences that it would be surprising indeed if all my future work had not been colored by them. A real musician running through Leaves of Grass — a philosopher musician — could put his finger on this and that anywhere in the text no doubt as indicating the activity of the influences I have spoken of.
Seite 113 - The reality, the simplicity, the transparency, of my dear, dear mother's life, was responsible for the main things in the letters as in Leaves of Grass itself. How much I owe her! It could not be put in a scale — weighed : it could not be measured — be even put in the best words : it can only be apprehended through the intuitions. Leaves of Grass is the flower of her temperament active in me.
Seite 137 - I would work in this way when I was out in the crowds, then put the stuff together at home. Drum Taps was all written in that manner — all of it — all put together by fits and starts, on the field, in the hospitals, as I worked with the soldier boys.
Seite 330 - I like your interest in sports — ball, chief est of all — base-ball particularly : base-ball is our game : the American game: I connect it with our national character. Sports take people out of doors, get them filled with oxygen — generate some of the brutal customs (so-called brutal customs) which, after all, tend to habituate people to a necessary physical stoicism.
Seite 123 - I have met occasionally — a Scotchman of acute intellectual sympathies. The alterations noted in ink in his article are reproduced by me from the copy which he himself sent me : I infer that they are in conformity with the original Ms., but cut out by a less ardent editor. The Sunday Times is edited by a Mr. Knight, of whom also I have some slight personal knowledge. I think the review in that paper is very likely done by Mr. Knight himself. The Academia is a recently started paper, chiefly scholastic,...
