Analysis of Other May Praise What They Like
Walt Whitman 1819 (West Hills) – 1892 (Camden)
OTHERS may praise what they like;
But I, from the banks of the running Missouri, praise nothing, in
art, or aught else,
Till it has well inhaled the atmosphere of this river--also the
western prairie-scent,
And fully exudes it again.
