LarrySun:Oh puuleez!! The below is the voice of a romantic poet. Don't forget I know better my friend. ![]() LarrySun:@OMA You deserve all the praise and fp. |
I'm back! Missed this place and the these people. |
LarrySun:@LarrySun Wow! Thanks for tagging me. Now I need to check out "We Bled Together". @Nuges Larry is right. You have a beautiful perspective, a poetic heart, and you write wonderfully. The creative flow of thought is lovely. You are a romantic at heart. ![]() Even the technical makeup is precise. You told us what you were going to say. You told us, in a charming way, what you wanted to say. Then you told us again in your conclusion. Brilliant! It is a pleasure to read your writing. I look forward to reading more from you. ![]() |
I've known you were talented for some time OMA, but this and your last poem are "master poet" quality. Impressive. |

MaZterZ:I'll try to get something together tomorrow night, if that that would help. No one has been around. I honestly didn't think anyone would notice. |
The poem is written in Whitman's "free verse style". He wrote without a specific pattern of rhyme or meter. Read just about any of his works and you will notice it. Laykorn, your analysis of what Whitman is trying to say is correct. This poem is a prime example of Whitman's simplistic genius. His poems take us along on what seems like a perpetual walk. We see the world through his eyes, and experience it through his beautiful mind. He seemed to see the world in "shades of colors" others could not perceive. Walt Whitman saw the everything through the eyes of a poet and experienced it through the mind of dreamer, with a spiritual view of the world around him. I found this interesting tidbit in an analysis of the poem: [b]"The poem develops around the contrast between two different kinds of "stars" (and, no, not the Hollywood kind). The astronomer's "stars" are abstract ideas that can be reduced to numbers and charts. They reside in a noisy, crowded lecture-room. The real stars, on the other hand, reside in the infinite night sky. They give you that swooning, dizzy feeling in the pit of your stomach. When the speaker goes outside to look at them, he feels a spiritual unity with the night. Line 6: The word "gliding" is a hyperbole. It exaggerates the smoothness and ease of the speaker's exit from the lecture-room. Unless this room happens to be located in an ice-skating rink. We doubt it. Line 7: The phrase "mystical moist night-air" is an example of alliteration. Line 8: The phrase "perfect silence" is a tautology, a kind of logical repetition. "Silence," the absence of sound, is by definition already "perfect." Whitman wants to underscore this point."[/b] |
