Walt Whitman.

SINCE the publication OF his chief
work, Leaves of Grass, in 1855, he has
been regarded as one of the brightest
stars in our poetical firmament.-Min-
neapolis Times.
He was an American OF Americans.
He was the friend of Lincoln, and, like
Lincoln, he came close to the plain peo-
pie from whom he and Lincoln sprung.
New York Recorder.
THE dilettante prettiness OF most
modern poems was not to his taste. He
struck his Tyre with his fist at times, in
stead of his finger tips, but the music
was resonant and will reach posterity.-
New York Herald.
WALT WHITMAN's was a homely yet
lovable character. Within his heart
there dwelt sturdy nobility that was
ever asserting itself In his peculiar
rhymes. His poetry was flexible index
to his soul.-Grand Rapids Herald.
UTTERING his message, convinced of
his vocation, aware and awake to his
power, he has never faltered. In OBJ
security and neglect, in poverty and per-
secution, he has continued true to his
own ideals, and held steadily to his own
conception of his duty as the chosen
priest and poet Of democracy.-Phila-
delphia Press.
OUTsPoKENNEss and love for his fell
low beings were the twin propellers of
his published thoughts. He was in all
essentials a man, and the world is the
poorer for the loss of such. But his
days of greatest usefulness were
passed, his works will long outlive him,
and he has obtained the rest he longed
for.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
IN his writings he was hampered by
no poetic forms Of rhythm or meter, but
embodied his spontaneous thoughts in
the language they suggested 10 him.
Many fine sentiments were embodied
even in his Leaves of Grass, though
it transgressed the sterner proprieties
and approached a forbidden realism

No POET ever wrote more individual
ity into verse. 1t was native Yankee
ism of a decidedly Whitmanesque
species that sprang from his pen. But.

tionary individuality of the form.
touched universal intuitions which
found echo in many tongues and chimes.
