Conversations NEWSLETTER of the WALT WHITMAN ASSOCIATION Conversations NEWSLETTER OF THE WALT WHITMAN ASSOCIATION WINTER 2014-15 A Stepping Stone to Whitman’s Past By Matthew L. Ifill It was just last year that a major refurbishment of the walkways just outside the Whitman House took place and we were challenged by an opportunity to address the issue of the original carriage stone’s condition. Time and the elements were taking their toll on the old stone. To ensure its preservation, we safely removed the relic for display in our future visitor center, and had an exact replica made and placed in the original’s location as it was when the poet first set eyes upon it. This stone connects visitors today with those of the past. In fact, when we see the new stone today, it’s as if we’re journeying back in time to see when the original carriage stone was placed. Let us now take a journey through the story of the stone’s history. Whitman seated in his gifted phaeton with driver Bill Duckett, A GIFT OF A HORSE 1866, Camden, NJ. Library of Congress. Walt Whitman always had a group of friends who stood up to help the poet in times of (perceived) need. In y errand to Camden was to visit the house on Mickle September of 1885, the need was for a horse and buggy street.... I don’t suppose any literary shrine on earth M in which the semi-paralyzed Whitman could gadabout. is of more humble and disregarded aspect.... On the Tom Donaldson organized a drive, enlisting thirty-two pavement in front stands a white marble stepping block subscribers to send $10 each to buy a horse and carriage with the carved initials W.W. – given to the poet I dare and pay for operations thereof. Samuel Clemens responded say, by the same friends who bought him a horse and with: “I have great veneration for the old man, and would carriage....Though neither Philadelphia nor Camden has gladly pay his turnouts board, year after year, and buy recognized [this] as one of the authentic shrines of our another when it fails.”2 John Greenleaf Whittier responded history.... You will make a great mistake if you don’t ramble kindly, and with a contribution to “the man who tenderly over to Camden some day and fleet the golden hours in an nursed the Union soldiers and as tenderly sung the dirge observant stroll.”1 of their great captain.” However, he could not help but to So recalled the writer Christopher Morley in 1918, add a personal chide: “I need not say perhaps that I have when he ventured to Camden on a quest to find the former been pained by some portions of W.W.’s writings, which abode of Walt Whitman. These were the waning days before for his own sake, and for that of his readers, I wish could its acquisition in 1921 and subsequent preservation as the be omitted.”3 Others like Oliver Wendell Holmes , Horace Walt Whitman literary shrine and memorial home. His Howard Furness, Samuel Elkins and George Boker4 joined impressions of the house still ring true today, yet also offer in this worthy effort. Some wanted to give more, but an example of how far we have come regarding the site over Donaldson refused: he wanted only ten dollars a man. the past century. It was visits by Morley and others around the centenary of Whitman’s birth that led to a rekindled effort Donaldson fondly recollected the day of the arrival of to preserve and memorialize the poet’s house. Whitman’s the carriage: marble carriage stone at the curb served as a way finding I dropped in at Mr. Whitman’s house in Camden marker to those visitors before there was any designation as in a usual manner at about four o’clock on Tuesday an historic site. The story of that carriage stone takes us on September 15, 1885. Mr. Whitman was reclining on an a fascinating journey: a journey that is a microcosm to the old lounge in the parlor. I sat by him on a chair and we story of the Whitman House itself. (Continued on next page) chatted about his health and the weather. Presently I scene, marking the modest home of the venerable poet heard the gift buggy come up to the door. It was driven and easing his difficult climb into the carriage. Whitman by Master Blaine Donaldson, a lad of nine, and a man commented several years later in his Daybook: with him. Mr. Whitman went to the window and, seeing Oct. 26 [1889] the boy and buggy, said, as I recall it, “Bless me! What Had the old tree cut down – it was dead & no sap, a nice turnout!

In addition to a similar account of the Lincoln Lecture that netted Whitman $600 in 1887; even afternoon’s events, the article stated: throwing the reception for the poet afterwards. …When the reporter called at 9 o’clock; the old Whitman’s connection with the family started when gentleman was… sitting in his great armchair beside daughter Mary read Leaves of Grass in college.

  • What Was Sparked by Walt Whitman's “I Sing the Body Electric”
    Collins !1 Joey Collins Honors Senior Seminar Dr. Blais & Dr. LeBlanc 9 December 2018 The Lightning in Us: What Was Sparked by Walt Whitman’s “I Sing The Body Electric” Poets and historians of American literature have closely analyzed the contents of the great American poem “I Sing The Body Electric” by Walt Whitman. To comprehend the underlying messages conveyed in this work, one must understand how Whitman’s musings relate to the his- tory of, as well as the present incarnation of American culture. Whitman himself was a man of his own, defying the cultural norms of his time and expressing through his poetry a unique view of our nation. His expression in “Body Electric” is telling of his individuality as a poet and a nineteenth century American man, and this expression has proven itself to be timeless as it is revered in today’s America. The America of now is a vastly diverse melting pot of political views, personal back- grounds, and cultural fusions. “Body Electric” is an all-encompassing poem, written from the perspective of Whitman the careful observer, who is able to see the inherent beauty in the many interweaving constituents of our country. As the poem unfolds, there is a decidedly political stance taken by Whitman, a stance which, one hundred and sixty three years after the poem’s publishing, still reads as contentious in our modern social climate. It is this contentiousness com- bined with a freshly delivered ode to the many colors of our nation that gives the poem its au- thenticity. Collins !2 The title of the poem perfectly indicates its conveyed viewpoint.

FRANK JULIAN SPRAGUE OF NEW YORK CITY I EXHIBITED AT THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS 1939'3 FOREWORD ti[THE YEAR 1939 marks the one hundred and twentieth anni- versary of the birth of Walt Whitman. As part of the celebration of that anniversary, the Library of Congress exhibited a collection of material from the magnificent Walt Whitman collection as- sembled over a period of twenty-five years by Mrs. Frank Julian Sprague, of New York City. This material was selected and pre- pared for exhibition by Dr. Joseph Auslander, Consultant in Poetry in the Library of Congress. The Library of Congress is unwilling that this exhibit should terminate without some record which may serve as an expression of its gratitude to Mrs. Sprague for her generosity in making the display possible and a witness to its appreciation of Mrs. Sprague's great service to American poetry and to the American tradition of which Walt Whitman is not only the poet but the symbol. Many of the books in Mrs. Sprague's collection are unique, some are in mint condition, none is unopened. The greater part of the collection, including the two paintings which were done from life, has never before been exhibited to the great American public for which Whitman wrote and by which he is remembered.

Chapter 1 discusses the process by which the British socialists appropriated Whitman’s poetry as their own. Chapter 2 traces the influence of Whitman’s literary executor, Horace Traubel, who shaped Whitman’s legacy as an American socialist. Chapter 3 explores how leaders of the radical left adapted Whitman’s memes to their own purposes, discussing Robert Ingersoll’s freethinker memes, Clarence Darrow’s humanist memes, Emma Goldman’s anarchist memes, and Eugene V.
