Whitman's cadences; compensate
for the lack of rhyme. Whitman,

on repetition, parallelisms, bal

symbolism"

1t is recorded that Whitman,
realizing that Horace Traubel

among the classics of the world.
Published one hundred years ago,
Leaves of Grass" now is being
accorded the status of an inter
national anniversary
It is a timely event. reviving as
it does the call to freedom that
was embodied in Whitman's poet
ie enthusiasm. and especially the
following stirring words:
Great is Liberty; great is
Equality; am their follower:
Helmsmen of nations, choose
your craft; where you sail,
/ sail,
weather it out with you or i.
sink with YOU"
The Walt Whitman anniversary
serves to recall the influence of
the Bible upon the great poets
enduring songs of liberty. They
remind us about his friends and
about the fact that Horace L.
Traubel. his Jewish biographer
was one of his most ardent dis
ciples who became one of Whit
mans two literary executors. THE
other was Richard Bucke.)
In his lengthy introduction to
''The Poetry and Prose of Walt
Whitman" recently published by
Simon & Schuster, Louis Inter
myer, the eminent poet and liter
ary critic, pointed out that eat it's
best, Leaves of Grass has a Bib
lical surge of sound, a rough He
braic music founded on balance
and cadence, mounting rhythm
and hypnotic repetition with the
power of incarnation.
Mr.. UntermYer wrote in his
evaluation of Walt Whitman's
poetic and prosaic works:
whitman was experimenting
with a poetic style which, if not
wholly new in literature, was new
to him. Heinrich Heine had used
it in his North Sea cycles, al
though it is doubtful that Whit
man had read the German poets
polyrhythmic lines. The form was
free, the rhythms were loose,
rhyme had all but disappeared.
The combination of strong stresses
and irregular beat suggested the
complicated sorority of the King
James version of the Bible. The
Biblical music was echoed in
