Walt WhitmanBorn on May 31, 1819, Walt Whitman was the second son of Walter Whitman, a house builder. The family, which consisted of nine children, lived in Brooklyn and Long Island in the 1820s and 1830s.At the age of twelve, Whitman began to learn the printer's trade, and fell in love with the written word. Largely self-taught, he read crazily, becoming acquainted with the works of Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, and the Bible.Whitman worked as a printer in New York City until a devastating fire in the printing district demolished the industry. In 1836, at the age of 17, he began his career as teacher in theone-room school houses of Long Island. He continued to teach until 1841, when he turned to journalism as a full-time career.He founded a weekly newspaper, Long-Islander, and later edited a number of Brooklyn and New York papers. In 1848, Whitman left the Brooklyn Daily Eagle to become editor of the New Orleans Crescent. It was in New Orleans that he experienced at first hand the viciousness of slavery in the slave markets of that city. On his return to Brooklyn in the fall of 1848, he founded a "free soil" newspaper, the Brooklyn Freeman, and continued to develop the unique style of poetry that later so astonished Ralph Waldo Emerson.In 1855, Whitman took out a copyright on the first edition of Leaves of Grass, which consisted of twelve untitled poems and a preface. He published the volume himself, and sent a copy to Emerson in July of 1855. Whitman released a second edition of the book in 1856, containing thirty-three poems, a letter from Emerson praising the first edition, and a long open letter by Whitman in response. During his subsequent career, Whitman continued to refine the volume, publishing several more editions of the book.At the outbreak of the Civil War, Whitman vowed to live a "cleansed" life. He wrote freelance journalism and visited the wounded at New York-area hospitals. He then traveled to Washington, D.C. in December 1862 to care for his brother who had been wounded in the war.Overcome by the suffering of the many wounded in Washington, Whitman decided to stay and work in the hospitals and stayed in the city for eleven years. He took a job as a clerk for the Department of the Interior, which ended when the Secretary of the Interior, JamesHarlan, discovered that Whitman was the author of Leaves of Grass, which Harlan found offensive. Harlan fired the poet.Whitman struggled to support himself through most of his life. In Washington, he lived on a clerk's salary and modest royalties, and spent any excess money, including gifts from friends, to buy supplies for the patients he nursed. He had also been sending money to his widowed mother and an invalid brother. From time to time writers both in the states and in England sent him "purses" of money so that he could get by.In the early 1870s, Whitman settled in Camden, NJ, where he had come to visit his dying mother at his brother's house. However, after suffering a stroke, Whitman found it impossible to return to Washington. He stayed with his brother until the 1882 publication of Leaves of Grass gave Whitman enough money to buy a home in Camden.In the simple two-story clapboard house, Whitman spent his declining years working on additions and revisions to a new edition of the book and preparing his final volume of poems and prose,Good-Bye, My Fancy (1891). After his death on March 26, 1892, Whitman was buried in a tomb he designed and had built on a lot in Harleigh Cemetery.He has written a lot of quotations, and I enjoy most of them.1.A great city is that which has the greatest men and women.2.A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than themetaphysics of books.3.After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics,conviviality, and so on –have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear – what remains? Nature remains.4.All faults may be forgiven of him who has perfect candor.5.And your very flesh shall be a great poem.6.Behold I do not give lecture or a little charity, when I give I givemyself.7.Give me the splendid silent sun with all his beams full-dazzling.8.Have you heard that it was good to gain the day? I also say it isgood to fall; battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won.9.Have you learned the lessons only of those who admired you, andwere tender with you, and stood aside for you? Have you not learned great lessons from those who braced themselves against you and disputed passage with you?10.Henceforth I ask not good fortune. I myself am good fortune.11.How beggarly appear arguments before a defiant deed!12.I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.13.I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don’t believe I deservedmy friends.14.I say to mankind, be not curious about God. For I, who am curiousabout each, am not curious about God- I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least.15.If any thing is sacred the human body is sacred.16.Nothing endures but personal qualities.17.Other lands have their vitality in a few, a class, but we have it inthe bulk of our people.18.The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the lightof letters, is simplicity.19.The habit of giving only enhances the desire to give.20.The poet judges not as judge judges but as the sun falling arounda helpless thing.21.There is no trade or employment but the young man following itmay become a hero.22.To the real artist in humanity, what are called bad manners areoften the most picturesque and significant of all.23.Wisdom is not finally tested in the schools; wisdom cannot bepassed from one having it to another not having it, wisdom is of the soul, is not susceptible of proof, and is its own proof.24.You must not know too much or be too precise or scientific aboutbirds and trees and flowers and watercraft; a certain free margin, and even vagueness- ignorance, credulity-helps your enjoyment of these things.25.Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons. It is togrow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.To be honest, I often copied some beautiful English sentences from Internet which are similar to those quotations above. After that, I read them again and again as long as I was free. I love these sentences because they make me lose in thought. I do enjoy the feeling. They just like the lighthouse, which can guide me to the bright future.。

惠特曼的诗歌英文作文英文：Walt Whitman, one of the most influential poets in American literature, is known for his unique style and themes in his poetry. His works often celebrate the beauty of nature, the value of individualism, and the importance of democracy. Whitman's poetry is characterized by free verse, which is a form of poetry that does not follow a specific rhyme or meter. This allows for a more natural and conversational tone in his writing.One of Whitman's most famous works is "Song of Myself," which is a long and complex poem that explores themes of identity, spirituality, and the interconnectedness of all things. In this poem, Whitman uses vivid imagery and unconventional language to convey his ideas. For example, he often uses metaphors and similes to describe the world around him, such as when he describes himself as "a vast similitude interlocks all" (section 1).Another notable aspect of Whitman's poetry is his use of repetition and lists. He often repeats phrases or words to emphasize their importance and create a sense of rhythm in his writing. For example, in "Song of Myself," he repeats the phrase "I celebrate myself" several times throughout the poem (sections 1, 20, and 52). He also uses lists to create a sense of abundance and inclusivity. In section 6 of the same poem, he lists a variety of people and professions, stating that "the butcher-boy puts off his killing-clothes" and "the young fellow drives the express-wagon."Overall, Whitman's poetry is a celebration of life and humanity. His unique style and themes continue to influence poets and writers today.中文：沃尔特·惠特曼是美国文学中最具影响力的诗人之一，以其独特的风格和主题而闻名。

简析惠特曼《自我之歌》沃尔特??惠特曼(Walt Whitman, 1819-1892)是一位世界著名的美国民主主义诗人，是美国文学史上的革新派代表。
他创作的诗歌体被后人称为自由体，因为惠特曼认为民主之音不能被传统的诗歌形式所束缚。
1855年他首次出版了他的著名诗集《草叶集》。
《草叶集》第一版问世时，共收诗12首，最后出第9版时共收诗383首，其中最长的一首《自我之歌》共1 336行。
这首诗的内容几乎包括了作者毕生的主要思想，是作者最重要的诗歌之一。
惠特曼诗歌的艺术风格和传统的诗体大不相同。
他一生热爱意大利歌剧、演讲术和大海的滔滔浪声。
西方学者指出这是惠特曼诗歌的音律的主要来源。
他的诗歌从语言和题材上深刻地影响了20世纪的美国诗歌。
《草叶集》问世后，评论家们议论纷纷，毁誉参半，争论焦点就是《自我之歌》。
尽管当时美国文坛的盟主爱默生独具慧眼，读完诗集以后赞赏有加，并写信给惠特曼，称赞“它是美国出版过的最出色的，富有才智和智慧的诗篇”，但是由于其异于常规的风格而受到绝大多数作家和批评家包括费罗、罗威尔的猛烈攻击。
惠特曼写诗的初衷是希望为人民大众所接受，遗憾的是却被大多数公众所忽视。
一、一首抒情诗史惠特曼在《我自己的歌》一诗的开头写道:我赞美我自己，歌唱我自己，我承担的你也将承担，因为属于我的每一个原子也同样属于你。
在这首诗的最后一节，诗人又是这样写的:如果你一时找不到我，请不要灰心丧气，一处找不到再到别处去找，我总在某个地方等候着你。
全诗以“我”开篇，又以“你”结尾，这种写法有其独特的艺术魅力。
纵观全诗，尽管这个“我”总是以叙事者的身份在诗中占据主导地位，但是这个“你”却始论文联盟整理终伴随着“我”歌唱着《我自己的歌》。
在惠特曼之前，从未有哪一个美国诗人像他这样如此重视过读者的作用。
与19世纪许多浪漫派诗人一样，惠特曼也怀着一种强烈的自我意识，在诗歌创作中用第一人称“我”为主人公，抒发诗人个人的情感。
