Analysis of Walt Whitman
James McIntyre 1828 (Forres) – 1906
For erratic style he leads van,
Wildly, wayward Walt Whitman.
*Mathew Arnold saw fit to say that Longfellow was not
the National Poet of America, but we presume few believed
him; one of Longfellows grandest pieced the scene is laid in
Canada.
It is a tale of love divine;
Charming faithful Evangeline.
