Walt Whitman 惠特曼 英文 (课堂PPT)
I think I could turn and live a while with the animals... 我想我可以和这些动物们一起住一段时间 they are so placid and self-contained, 它们是如此的温和，自给自足 I stand and look at them sometimes half the day long. 有时候我可以大半天站着观察它们 They do not sweat and whine about their condition , 他们不出汗，也不抱怨生存条件 They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins. 晚上他们也不躺下休息，而是为他们的罪过而哭泣

He was born in l8l9 into a working-class family and grew up in Brooklyn, New York. Son of a carpenter, Whitman left his schooling for good at eleven, and became an office boy. Later on he changed several jobs, one of which was in the printing office of a newspaper, which would be of great help in his literary career.
Poetic theory
• Whitman wrote in the preface to the 1855 edition of Leaves of Grass, "The proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it." • He believed there was a vital, symbiotic relationship between the poet and society. This connection was emphasized especially in "Song of Myself" by using an all-powerful first-person narration. • As an American epic, it deviated from the historic use of an elevated hero and instead assumed the identity of the common people. • Leaves of Grass also responded to the impact that recent urbanization in the United States had on the masses.

Oh Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells; Rise up -for you the flag is flung -for you the bugle trills, For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths-for you the shores crowding, For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning; Here, Captain! dear father! This arm beneath your head; It is some dream that on the deck
