Spring 2019-B ON THE HOUSE · SPRING 2019 · 13 Spring in Poetry and Photography An Epistolary Ode to Spring You asked me, Nelly, for a poem to greet the spring; But the weather has been so harsh since the Equinox And as I strive to sound hopeful and roundly sing Sweet praises of springtime it rings with paradox. Of course I could now write a time-worn ode With derivative lines that echo the orthodox; And steal from bards both old and new a code at could only appeal to an inveterate philodox. Here attached, then, is a poem I recently found And have slightly revised, one that speaks of a serenity And a sense of solace that are intimately bound To nature and remind us of the daunting forces of eternity; A short poem which, though not particularly vernal, Was yet inspired by the manifest energy of that season; For hope, no doubt, can truly spring eternal As long as birds translate wind’s rhyme and reason. Eric SELLIN Philadelphia, April 2019 A Midday Walk In May We walk along the tow path through the college park, Beside the indolent waters of an old canal, Where, here and there, turtles lie along the banks, On fallen branches, sometimes basking there two deep. A quiet place it is, near the middle of the town, Where we can yet walk in peace along this path, Beneath a double helix of soaring, circling hawks.

  • 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.
