Keep your face always toward the sunshine, and shadows will fall behind you,- Walt Whitman
Okay well now its time to jump off the Walt Whitman. THE HIGH IS GONE AND NOW IM JUST A BALL OF SADNESS
In a conversation with a younger man yesterday I stated, "If it were not for Robin Williams and Dead Poets Society, most people would not know who Walt Whitman was." His reply, "Who is Walt Whitman?" Read a book people!
...Assuming that's a Dead Poets Society reference & you're not just a big Walt Whitman fan
That poem was written by Walt Whitman, and was referenced in the film Dead Poets Society by Robin Williams' character John Keating
I am STILL shocked and weirdly ...broken... at the news of Robin Williams - why? This feels more than the sad loss of an entertainer. O Captain! My Captain! our fearful trip is done; The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won; The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring: But O heart! heart! heart!O the bleeding drops of red,Where on the deck my Captain lies,Fallen cold and dead. O Captain! My Captain! rise up and hear the bells; Rise upâfor you the flag is flungâfor you the bugle trills; For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreathsâfor you the shores a-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,You've fallen cold and dead. It spoke of the shock after the loss of President Lincoln, but tonight I am reminded that while I learned & preformed the whole Walt Whitman poem at my arts high school, my ...
In this masterful scene from âDead Poets Society,â Williamsâ students pay tribute to him in most unique way. Throughout film, Williamsâ character takes his students on journey of personal growth and character development. In earlier scenes, he has them stand on their desks and look around to see the world with âa different perspective;â and after reading a passage from Walt Whitman, challenges them to address him âO Captain! My Captain!â if they so dared. âSeize the day,â if you so dare! âMake your lives extraordinary!

Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.â Walt Whitman Are you waiting for the right time to do something or to change something? Why what do you think will be better tomorrow that is not just perfect right now? We all have a tendency to put off until tomorrow things we really should be dealing with today and yet if we had just survived a scare of any sort we would be so grateful to be alive we would more than likely change all the things we didnât like in our life or do all the things we had been putting off doing rather than waste another day. But, we shouldnât have to survive something scary to decide to take action now and change things for the better. Time passes very quickly and should not be wasted waiting for the right moment. Every moment is the right moment .If you are here you have the ability and a personal responsibility, to live your life as fully as you can, to be as happy as you can and to do anything and everything that you can to make ea ...

As we approach the 4th of July holiday, I want to thank all of you for the opportunity to serve. We are so fortunate to live in a great city, a great state, and a great country. We are living off the sacrifices made by generations of Americans who fought for freedom, liberty, justice, and equality. Our founders weren't just the signers of the Declaration of Independence. They were also leaders like Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., George Marshall, Samuel Gompers, Frederick Douglas, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, Susan B. Anthony, Earl Warren, Walt Whitman, and Theodore Roosevelt, amongst others. Let us also not forget the millions of Americans who sacrificed their lives in war. No matter our political, religious, and philosophical differences, we are all Americans who believe in the dream of a more perfect union and the opportunity we all should have to pursue happiness.

June 21st The Great Seal of the United States â Back Side The back of the Great Seal is sometimes called its spiritual side. It shows a pyramid built of thirteen levels of stone, representing the thirteen original states in the union. Since ancient times, pyramids have been symbols of strength and duration. As the poet Walt Whitman suggested, the pyramid is shown as unfinished because although the architects of the United States laid its foundations, each generation has the duty of building a strong, good nation. Above the pyramid is a triangle containing the eye of Providence, which watches over the Union. The Latin motto Annuit Coeptis means âHe [God] has favored our undertakings.â On the base of the pyramid is the Roman numeral MDCCLXXVI (1776), the date of the Declaration of Independence. Beneath the pyramid a scroll reads Novus Ordo Seclorum, meaning âA New Order of the Ages,â signifying that 1776 marked the beginning of the American era.

America - Walt Whitman - Scrape It Off the Bottom of Your Brain.
There was a rather humorous misstep on one of the examination scripts this year. When considering whether we can correctly ascribe rights to comatose people, one student referred to "a man in a comma." That man must have been scrunched up. The funniest misstep that I've encountered on an examination script occurred 17 years ago. While discussing Robert Nozick's famous scenario involving Wilt Chamberlain, one student referred to "the famous American basketball player Walt Whitman."

I was having trouble sleeping. Something made me pick back up Howl by Allen Ginsberg. I really and truly feel that true love can begin with, " I am with you in Rockland". If you have never read him- or, if you could, start with Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman to glean the essence of the cadence and structure. Whitman was perhaps one of the biggest influences for inspiration and scheme in regards to Allen Ginsberg. Allen knew history and was able to "jenga" it- essentially he used writing from before to build his own tower. Who is doing that now? Read it! Wait, actually, decide for yourself. Experience it your own way. Unreal how much time we spend on the social media today, like the Kardashians and how soon we forget our modern day Ramones, Ginsbergs, Cobains, etc.. - they fall too quickly from our thoughts, yet the words of our rebel game changers are the ones that we should listen to. I am just wondering, where we have come from, how do we honor it and at this incredible moment in time of technological ...

Without exception, the response to the Post-Gutenberg Revolution, by traditional publishers and the major chain bookstores, as well as most of the independents, has been to cry foul and seek ways to circle the wagons, attempting to close off all the more to the change that they are indisputably incapable of controlling. I believe the only thing that will work is to open the front door to writers like these self-publishers: Mark Twain, James Fenimore Cooper, Walt Whitman, William Blake, John Milton, Henry Adams, Ezra Pound, e. e. cummings, Edgar Allan Poe, James Joyce, D.

Allen Ginsberg ( June 3, 1926 â April 5, 1997) From Poets.org On June 3, 1926, Allen Ginsberg was born in Newark, New Jersey. The son of Louis and Naomi Ginsberg, two Jewish members of the New York literary counter-culture of the 1920s, Ginsberg was raised among several progressive political perspectives. A supporter of the Communist party, Ginsbergâs mother was a nudist whose mental health was a concern throughout the poetâs childhood. According to biographer Barry Miles, âNaomiâs illness gave Allen an enormous empathy and tolerance for madness, neurosis, and psychosis.â As an adolescent, Ginsberg savored Walt Whitman, though in 1939, when Ginsberg graduated high school, he considered Edgar Allan Poe his favorite poet. Eager to follow a childhood hero who had received a scholarship to Columbia University, Ginsberg made a vow that if he got into the school he would devote his life to helping the working class, a cause he took seriously over the course of the next several years. He was admitted ...

The Benjamin Franklin Bridge â known informally as the Ben Franklin Bridge and originally named the Delaware River Bridge â is a suspension bridge across the Delaware River connecting Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Camden, New Jersey. Owned and operated by the Delaware River Port Authority, it is one of four primary vehicular bridges between Philadelphia and southern New Jersey, along with the Betsy Ross, Walt Whitman, and Tacony-Palmyra Bridges. The chief engineer of the bridge was Polish-born Ralph Modjeski, its design engineer was Leon Moisseiff, and the supervising architect was Paul Philippe Cret. At its completion on July 1, 1926, its 1,750-foot (533-meter) span gave it the world's longest suspension bridge span, a distinction it would hold until the opening of the Ambassador Bridge in 1929. History Prior to bridge construction, Philadelphia and Camden were connected by ferry service only. Plans for a bridge crossing the Delaware River began in the 1800s. An 1818 plan involved making use of a t ...
More Non-Scriptural Opinions From Earth's Greatly Deluded Ones On Death And The Afterlife . . . Do you see, oh my brothers and sisters? It is not chaos or death, it is form, union, plan, it is eternal life, it is happiness . . . Nothing can happen more beautiful than death. (Walt Whitman) All nature . . . is a respiration of the Spirit of God, who, in breathing hereafter will inhale it into his bosom again, so that nothing but God alone will remain. (Longfellow - The Golden Legend) There is no Death! What seems so is transition; This life of mortal breath is but a suburb of the life Elysian whose portal we call Death. (Longfellow - Resignation) The boundaries between life and death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where one ends and where the other begins? (Edgar Allen Poe) Afraid? Of whom am I afraid? Not death, for who is he? (Emily Dickinson) There is no death. How can there be death if everything is part of the Godhead? The soul never dies and the body is never really alive. (Isa ...
I was a voracious reader from a very young age, probably because my mom always had her nose stuck in a thick, juicy book and children do what they see their parents do inevitably. And my mother allowed me read any and everything I wanted to know about, with no regard to sexual content ( except for Jackie Collins books)or profanity, because those things could be a part of my daily encounters as soon as I walked out of her house anyway. Everything she wanted me to read was on a shelf in an enormous library containing Nikki Giovanni, James Baldwin, Thoreau, Walt Whitman, Zora Neal Hurston, Anais Nin and every other literary giant you could imagine. The rule was if I could reach it, I could read it. Everything she felt was "beyond my scope" was on a shelf that I could not reach and I respected that boundary. One day, however, I reached for " I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" and she tapped my hand lightly and told me I wasn't ready for that yet. I stewed for a bit wondering why a book about a stupid bi ...

The map is not the territory. Thanks Walt Whitman. As I sit with theory and a lukewarm cup of tea⦠a bit of beauty and reassurance. When I heard the learn'd astronomer, When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me, When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide and measure them, When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room, How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick, Till rising and gliding out I wander' d off by myself, In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time, Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars.

By serendipity, I bumped into a friend on his way to see Allen Crawford's discussion of his illustrated version of Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself".this is a presentation that I missed while I was at the Rosenbach Museum because of my failure to collate the data in front of my eyes (I was there the day he did it but still missed it). ... It was the perfect compromise between the introvert bookwork me and the extrovert social butterfly me. ... It took place at Brickbat Books which was a treasure trove of its own and I could not leave without picking up a couple 70s era sci-fi novels (tiny, lightweight and yellowing, with gorgeous evocative cover art.just the way I like them).
On this day in 1855, Walt Whitman registered the title Leaves of Grass with the clerk of the United States District Court, New York.

Say what you want about Long Island - but as I sat watching Billy Joel - probably the greatest song writer of all time - electrify MSG, I realized that a small island that counts for .003 of the land in the United States and .02 of the population, has produced the greatest songwriter, the King of Radio (Howard Stern), the greatest American poet (Walt Whitman), a face on Mount Rushmore (Teddy Roosevelt), the creator of the greatest sitcom of all time (Jerry Seinfeld), the creator of the most successful TV program of all time - (Roone Arledge, Monday Night Football), the greatest football player of all time (Jim Brown), and the greatest American composer of all time (John Williams). Oh yeah, and on Long Island they discovered the DNA double helix, and built the ships that landed on the moon. Not too bad for bunch of FLIDs.

The writing of Oscar Wilde is rich with imagery and wit, providing a source of inspiration for aspiring writers still today. Here are four facts about Oscar Wilde to help you better understand the author and his work. 1) Though he was married, Wilde was *** which was very taboo during his lifetime. After being outed during a court battle with a former loverâs father, Wilde was sentenced to two years doing hard labor in prison. 2) Known for his sense of style, Wilde was an impeccable dresser. It's widely noted that he had a very recognizable clothing style and wore his hair long. 3) During a lecture tour of the United States, Wilde was able to meet Walt Whitman, a writer he admired more than any other. 4) Wilde took the job of editor of the failing magazine Ladyâs World in the hopes to turn its sales around. He was successful, adding content that addressed womenâs issues rather than just fashion. Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) [BBC] Oscar Wilde Biography [The European Graduate School] Oscar Wilde [Biograph ...

Anyhoo I have been to New Jersey and back over the Walt Whitman bridge twice and one other humungous bridge, eaten at applebys somewhere in New Jersey.

Walt Whitman, Frederick Douglas and Mark Twain lived through the Mexican-American and Seminole-Gullah-Geechee Wars. Mark Twain even lived during the Spanish - American War.

What if they wrote volumes on each but they were hidden and suppressed by the Carnegies and Vanderbilts? I think I have the foundation for an American Davinci Code!

Do a Google search for Herman Melville, and the people that turn up in the "people also search for" list are, in order, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Person X (who shall be identified near the end of this status), Edgar Allan Poe, Walt Whitman, William Faulkner, Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Jack London, Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, Ernest Hemingway (and then others if you click for the next group, but these are the ones immediately visible). All these people are American literary luminaries, and all of them (recently deceased Vonnegut included) are depicted with a black and white rendering. So armed with that knowledge I may now reveal to you the identity of Person X: the musician Moby, in full color, apparently wading in a pool while wearing a T-shirt. He turns up near the beginning of this Melville-related list for obvious reasons, but...humorously and entirely out of place nonetheless.

"I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us." Walt Whitman "Poets are like baseball pitchers. Both have their moments. The intervals are the tough things." Robert Frost "Baseball is a slow, sluggish game, with frequent and trivial interruptions, offering the spectator many opportunities to reflect at leisure upon the situation on the field: This is what a fan loves most about the game." Edward Abbey "Baseball is very big with my people. It figures. It's the only time we can get to shake a bat at a white man without starting a riot." *** McGraw "The last words to the 'Star Spangled Banner?' 'Play ball!' Author Unknown In baseball, you can't kill the clock. You've got to give the other man his chance. That's why this is the greatest game." - Earl Weaver "Baseball is the only field of en ...
Just had to report on an unusual performance I'm involved with next Sunday, the 30th of March. I'll be playing Walt Whitman from 8pm until 1 am with the team from The Poetry Society of New York. They've been staging "Poetry Brothel" events a few times every year at different locations throughout New York. They're immersive, site-specific happenings in which each audience member shapes their experience, arriving when they like, leaving when they like, wandering out, drifting back in, going up to and engaging with the individual *** (performer-poets) on a one-to-one basis. This time the Brothel will be located at 102 Norfolk Street between Delancey and Rivington (You go down some stairs and through a little alley and up some more stairs. It's not meant to be too easy - it is a brothel, after all) The theme is The House of Illusion and your guest host will be Mr. Walt Whitman, as presented by myself. Over the last few years my efforts to lend Whitman a living voice have been received very favorably b ...

on my funeral home website:Â 09:45 AM Walt Whitman 1819-1892 By John H. Sime (Originally published in American Funeral Director Magazine) On Dec. 6, 1891, Walt Whitman sent to a publisher his manuscript of what has since become known as the âDeathbed Edition of Leaves of Grass.â Less than a week later he developed an illness that resulted in his death on Saturday, march 26, 1892, at his home in Camden, N.J. On Wednesday, March 30, thousands of people passed through the poetâs home to view his body. The crowd followed the two-mile procession to Harleigh Cemetery where a service was held and Whitman was buried. Despite the fact that Camden saw his final years of life and his burial, Whitman was by birth and soul a New Yorker. âManhattan faces and eyes forever for me,â Whitman wrote in âLeaves of Grass.â The New York Times said in its March 27, 1892 obituary of Whitman: âIn the passing away of a writer whom his admirers loved to call the Good Gray Poet, the City of New York has lost the mo . ...

I will not miss Fred Phelps. But frankly I don't wish anyone to suffer eternally. I believe more in "Do unto others..." So to treat him as I would be wish to be treated myself, I wish him...

Hanging out with some famous poets, artists, and thinkers would be awesome... a century or two at table with Kevyn AuCoin, Andy Warhol, Virginia Woolf, Walt Whitman, Alexander McQueen, Leonardo DaVinci, Josephine Baker, Michaelangelo, Oscar Wilde, Frida Kahlo... you get the idea. And a few other luminaries might make it interesting... maybe when I'm done with artists and philosophers...I would want to hash it out with the heavyweights. I think I would wish the same thing for Fred. Maybe a millennium long talk with Jesus of Nazareth, but since I (and Fred) know a fair amount about him...he can sit at the other end of the table...I want the ones closer to be Siddartha, Mohammed, Lao Tzu, and Confuscious.

A Literary Angel, or How Poetry Saved My Life Language and words are essential. When I was in fourth grade, walking home from school, a barefoot hippy dude asked my friend and I if we wanted this book he was carrying. My hand automatically went out and I was given ( seemingly by Jesus himself, I thought later ) an old volume of the Oxford Edition of English and American Poetry. As a 10 year old girl growing up in a very middle class, blue collar household this was indeed a sort of spiritual and cultural manna from heaven. As an only child being brought up by my grandparents, I had plenty of time to read. I devoured this book. While girls my age were reading Nancy Drew, Judy Blume or V.C. Andrews; I was filling my mind with Shakespearean sonnets, Robert Burns and Walt Whitman. I believe poetry saved my life many times over. Let me explain. I was a latch key kid. I wore the key to my apartment around my neck on a piece of thick twine. While my grandparents were well meaning, they were afflicted with the dis ...
My mind will be forever allured by the words of Walt Whitman and Allen Ginsberg.
Something about seashells attracts poets ... Pablo Neruda kept a collection of them, as did William Wordsworth, C.P. Cavafy, and Walt Whitman; all wrote about the wonders of malacology. The French symbolist poet Paul Valéry (1871-1945) joins their number with this short yet graceful essay on these "privileged objects" that "present us with a strange union of ideas: order and fantasy, invention and necessity, law and exception." At turns he likens the forms of poetry to those of shells and the shell itself to poor Yorick's skull, which set Hamlet to wondering about matters of life and death. The noted American poet Mary Oliver provides an introduction. Henri Mondor's pencil illustrations are an added pleasure. --Gregory McNamee
Nature is the living, visible garment of God, (1) and earth, with her thousand voices, praises God.

What can I say? Some poets love snowstorms and I am a poet Bowered in silence I too am stilled (for Jim Carroll) Bowered in silence I too am stilled The all white storm cocoons me And the frantic world around me The blizzard has come Finally Manhattan lies at peace Finally The snow flakes fall slow fat white baby hands that clench and unclench dispensing peace and heavy wet quiet over all.

Walt Whitman is out and Jim Carroll too Those hardy types they like to stroll, no endlessly walk Like all poets do if only in their minds.

Eric Bronson Guest Post at JP Grider's Blog Today's Guest Blogger - Eric Bronson, author of King of Rags... Plus a rafflecopter giveaway 02/10/20142 Comments Guest blog by Eric Bronson: The black poets of the Harlem Renaissance wrote jazz. Blues too, and sometimes even Gospel. It was tough sounding, edgy and sweet, like the music they heard in the late-night clubs of New York City. I love Langston Hughes' poem, "The Weary Blues." "And far into the night he crooned that tune. The stars went out and so did the moon. The singer stopped playing and went to bed While the Weary Blues echoed through his head. He slept like a rock or a man that's dead." Hughes was a great American poet in the tradition of Walt Whitman. He also read Paul Laurence Dunbar. Something about the old-timey style appealed to Hughes. It was of the ragtime era at the turn of the twentieth century, a time many of the new black poets and artists were anxious to put behind them. Too hokey, they thought. Too much slave-speak. Take Du ...

It is of course the voice of Mr Funnyman, Robin Williams who in this film inspires his students at the boys' school to achieve great heights in scholarship and also in independent thought. The great Walt Whitman is quoted. I recommend getting your hands on Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass". I have a copy on my bookshelf.

Request fulfilled... Adieu To A Solider ADIEU, O soldier! You of the rude campaigning, (which we shared,) The rapid march, the life of the camp, The hot contention of opposing fronts--the long manoeuver, Red battles with their slaughter,--the stimulus--the strong, terrific game, Spell of all brave and manly hearts--the trains of Time through you, and like of you, all fill'd, With war, and war's expression. Adieu, dear comrade! Your mission is fulfill'd--but I, more warlike, Myself, and this contentious soul of mine, 10 Still on our own campaigning bound, Through untried roads, with ambushes, opponents lined, Through many a sharp defeat and many a crisis--often baffled, Here marching, ever marching on, a war fight out--aye here, To fiercer, weightier battles give expression.

Langston Hughes: PEOPLEâS POET WHO SPEARHEADED THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE AND JAZZ POETRY The night is beautiful, So the faces of my people. The stars are beautiful, So the eyes of my people Beautiful, also, is the sun. Beautiful, also, are the souls of my people. - Langston Hughes (From âMy Peopleâ) Poet, social activist, novelist, playwright, and columnist James Mercer Langston Hughes (February 1, 1902-May 22, 1967) was one of the most outstanding American writers of the 20th century. He was one of the earliest innovators of the then-new literary art form jazz poetry. He is best known for his pioneering contribution to the Harlem Renaissance during the 1920s. He famously wrote about the period when "Harlem was in vogueâ. Hughes's first book of poetry, âThe Weary Bluesâ, (Knopf, 1926) was published in 1926. One of the best-known poems of this collection was "The *** Speaks of Rivers", which became Hughes's signature poem. Subsequently, he achieved worldwide renown for his insightful, color ...

"But I was Manhattanese, friendly and proud! I was callâd by my nighest name by clear loud voices of young men as they saw me approaching or passing, Felt their arms on my neck as I stood, or the negligent leaning of their flesh against me as I sat, Saw many I loved in the street, or ferry-boat, or public assembly, yet never told them a word, Lived the same life with the rest, the same old laughing, gnawing, sleeping, 85 Playâd the part that still looks back on the actor or actress, The same old role, the role that is what we make it, as great as we like, Or as small as we like, or both great and small."

Funeral plans as of 02.03.2014 *subject to change with the times*: I plan to have secret guards at my funeral (red/black anarcho-commies who know how to use guns) who will be specially trained to make anyone join me if they happen to turn my death into a sad experience (excluding of course immediate family; they're to be protected at all costs out of respect). I will not have my viewing in a church nor will I have a pastor preside over any part of my funeral or burial. I will have it held outdoors rain or shine. There shall be absolutely no police escorts or representatives from any state body. I expect a revolutionary poet's funeral with readings from Walt Whitman, Arthur Rimbaud, John Henry Mackay, Federico Garcia Lorca, and Allen Ginsberg along with music from my favorite band, the Ramones (especially including their song 'Poison Heart') I also demand to be buried with whatever original printings of my poetry that I've struggled to protect in the many backpacks I've had throughout my years and as far a ...

A tribute to Walt Whitman. O time o darling Like a Dutchman you are flying! On the ocean of space With the rudder of conscious Folks said you have golden sail Deck glitters with oyster pearl ! O time o darling Grace beyond comprehension subliming. Along at your star board civilization strides Divulging devouring phantom sapphires, To unfathomed vastness you sails In dark abyss you prevails, O time o darling Clad in mystery forever alluring. Tell me o vessel where shall you anchor, At a port luminous at a bay deep darker. O time my darling Baffling my scrutiny you glides away, Carrying enigmatic souls Following silent calls You cruised away. O time my darling With strings of universe eternally rhyming!!! This time my darling. by debasish patnaik

I've lost all of my school pics and I'm wondering if anyone has their St Joesph's class pictures from 1966 (Sister Kearan's class) through Mrs Thomas the year of the teachers strike, I think it was 1966-1972? Also looking for class pic's if they still did them in Mark Twain 73-74- Mrs Wasserman is really the only homeroom teacher I remember. I'd also like to have pictures of Walt Whitman from 74-76 not sure of the actual years there, I didn't have a very happy time there. If someone still has any of these, I'd love to get a copy of them-message me if you can share a copy or copies of those class pictures.

Production Ken Burns was inspired to make this documentary because of Mathew Brady's photographs. More than 10 hours in length, the documentary has nine episodes that explore the Civil War through personal stories and photos. During the creation of the movie, Burns made extensive use of over 16,000 archival photographs, paintings, and newspaper images from the time of the war. This resulted in the coining of the term the "Ken Burns effect". He combined these images with modern cinematography, music, narration by David McCullough, anecdotes and insights from authors such as Shelby Foote,[2] historians Barbara J. Fields, Ed Bearss, and Stephen B. Oates; and actors reading contemporary quotes from historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln, Mary Chesnut, Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant, Walt Whitman, Stonewall Jackson, and Frederick Douglass. A large cast of actors voiced correspondence, memoirs, news articles, and stood in for historical figures from the Civil War. Burns also interviewed Daisy Turner, then ...
An apt poem concerning the snow; Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice. ~Bella Swan, Twilight Saga Just kidding! ~Walt Whitman
The golden age of journalism? 22 JANUARY, by Tom Engelhardt It was 1949. My mother â known in the gossip columns of that era as âNew Yorkâs girl caricaturistâ â was freelancing theatrical sketches to a number of New Yorkâs newspapers and magazines, including the Brooklyn Eagle. That paper, then more than a century old, had just a few years of life left in it. From 1846 to 1848, its editor had been the poet Walt Whitman. In later years, my mother used to enjoy telling a story about the Eagle editor she dealt with who, on learning that I was being sent to Walt Whitman kindergarten, responded in the classically gruff newspaper manner memorialized in movies like His Girl Friday: âAre they still naming things after that old *** â In my childhood, New York City was, you might say, papered with newspapers. The Daily News, the Daily Mirror, the Herald Tribune, the Wall Street Journal... there were perhaps nine or 10 significant ones on newsstands every day and, though that might bring to mind ...

Ok...reading check in time...I closed out 2013 by reading Louise Erdrich's "A Plague of Doves" very good story telling set in small town North Dakota...I also read Junot Diaz "This Is How You Lose Her". I like him more and more with each book of his I read. I also finished "You Deserve Nothing" by Alexander Maksik a very well written, albeit disturbing story about a teacher at an international school in Paris. December also found me finishing Richard Rohr's "Breathing Under Water" a spiritual examination of the twelve step program. Finally I am still winding my way through the collected works if Walt Whitman. I've been at uncle Walt for a while and I am invoking the words of Gordon Lisch "...for God's sake, read slow and writer slower still..." I am starting 2014 with one of the biographies written about Chilean poet/author Pablo Neruda. For all Neruda fans, I highly recommend "Neruda" by Volodia Teitelboim...Happy New Year, everyone!

To all my fellow US citizens out in who like to identify themselves as here is a little bit of history from a Pulitzer Prize winning book for history...Enjoy! - New York in the 1840s and 1850s was an intensely homosocial city. Men clubbed, ate, drank, rioted, paraded, and politicked together, clustered together in boarding houses and boards of directors, even slept together. Walt Whitman spent much of his time in the company of handsome young workingmen, occasionally bringing them home for the evening, and whether or not he and they engaged in sexual intimacy, other men certainly did. NYC provided many opportunities for same-sex encounters. Vast numbers of men lived outside traditional families in all-male boarding houses. Casual acquaintances could be struck up in the bathhouses near the Broadway hotels, at bohemian bars like Pfaff's, in theaters, aboard ships, along wharves, while strolling in Parks, AND IN CHURCH (in 1846 two man who had met in a house of worship lived together for three months and the ...
Gemini/Birds: Walt Whitman: "Demon or Bird! (said the boy's soul)"... there is a weird scene in the film Long Island Expressway where one Gemini, Paul Dano, recites several lines from Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking, these among them, to another Gemini, Brian Cox: both have Water moons: Pisces & Cancer, respectively; Whitman's moon was right on the Leo-Virgo cusp; the French Astrotheme website says Leo, but I'd call him a Virgo mooner, casue he was obviously doubly attracted to masculinity: also, Virgo/Cancer Neil Peart used this same poem's title for a song on Rush's latest album, Clockwork Angels. Here are several more Bird & Air references in the poem: "Out of the mocking-birdâs throat, the musical shuttle"; "From the memories of the bird that chanted to me... sad brother"; "Up this seashore in some briers, "Two featherâd guests from Alabama, two together, And their nest, and four light-green eggs spotted with brown, And every day the he-bird to and fro near at hand... the she-bird crouchâd o ...

A Passage to India (1924) is a novel by English author E. M. Forster set against the backdrop of the British Raj and the Indian independence movement in the 1920s. It was selected as one of the 100 great works of English literature by the Modern Library and won the 1924 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction. Time magazine included the novel in its "100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005". The novel is based on Forster's experiences in India. E.M. Forster borrowed the book's title from Walt Whitman's poem of the same name in Leaves of Grass. The story revolves around four characters: Dr. Aziz, his British friend Mr. Cyril Fielding, Mrs. Moore, and Miss Adela Quested. During a trip to the Marabar Caves (modeled on the Barabar Caves of Bihar), Adela finds herself alone with Dr. Aziz in one of the caves, panicks and flees; it is assumed that Dr. Aziz had attempted to assault her. Aziz's trial, and its run-up and aftermath, bring out all the racial tensions and prejudices between indigenous . ...
The Letter of Walt Witman about "Hispanic Heritage in U.S" The Spanish Element in Our Nationality. In 1883, Santa Fe, the capital of the New Mexico Territory, celebrated its 333rd anniversary, and local authorities invited Whitman to deliver a commemorative poem. Living by then in his final retreat of Camden, New Jersey, Whitman declined to travel and sent instead this letter, which was reproduced in the national papers. The New York Times published it under the title, "Walt Whitman on America: The Good Gray Poet's View of Our Population and Our Future." "We Americans have yet to really learn our own antecedents, and sort them, to unify them," he wrote. Those who believe that the United States is a mere Anglo-Saxon country are wrong; the "British and German stock," as he phrases it, "already threaten excess" and needed to be counterbalanced. Whitman decried the "seething materialistic and business vortices, in their present, devouring relations, controlling and belittling everything else." But instead of ...

Pridelets from Tommy for December 17, 2013 1955, according to the New York Times, the Roman Catholics of Camden New Jersey are organizing an effort to "prevent the naming of a new Delaware River Bridge after Walt Whitman." But it's not because of Whitman's homosexuality (which they refuse to acknowledge) it's because his works are "homoerotic." ("'Homosexual' equates to 'sex perversion', while 'homoerotic' merely implies 'a strong affection for man.'" 1963, "The New York Times" warns that a "Growth of Overt Homosexuality in City Provokes Wide Concern (about public safety.)" 1987, Bert Parks hosts Atlantic City's "US Man of the Year Pageant."

It lead me back to Marx, and eventually forward to Benjamin and Harvey and Soja and Habermas...so, yeah...I think it made an impact.. 4. Tropic of Cancer (Henry Miller) 5. Catch 22 (Joseph Heller) 6. Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (James Agee) 7. Gaudy Night (Dorothy L. Sayers): My wife introduced me to this book...last and (in my opinion) best of a trilogy with both Lord Peter Wimsey & Harriet Vane...I cherish it as it was important to her as a young girl...and it gives me insight into her...and what she'd like in a partner... 8. 1970s ...

Driving Into The Past. December 1998. Fifteen Years Ago: I experienced a frightening moment of clarity as I inched my way to campus in the rush hour traffic this morning. I gave up trying to find a radio station that wasn't talking about Clinton and continued pursuing a line of thought that emerged late last night. How did I end up where I'm at today? What occurred in the past to lead me to now? I had left university in Waterloo back in the seventies to find a place to read and ended up in Victoria where I immersed myself in literature. I consumed John Updike, Norman Mailer, Saul Bellow, Ernest Hemmingway, Raymond Carver, John Cheevers, Jerzy Kozinski, Herman Hesse, Thomas Mann, Turgenev, Lermontov, Pushkin, Chekhov, Tolstoy, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Borges, D.H. Lawrence, Joseph Conrad, Vladimir Nabokov, Albert Camus, Jean Paul Sartre, John Cowper Powy's, Knut Hamsun, Tennessee Williams, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Walt Whitman; on and on I read, until I realized one grey winter afternoon that I wanted to be a writer ...

Ode to Walt Whitman By the East River and the Bronx boys sang, stripped to the waist, along with the wheels, oil, leather and hammers. Ninety thousand miners working silver from rock and the children drawing stairways and perspectives. But none of them slumbered, none of them wished to be river, none loved the vast leaves, none the blue tongue of the shore. By East River and the Queensboro boys battled with Industry, and Jews sold the river faun the rose of circumcision and the sky poured, through bridges and rooftops, herds of bison driven by the wind. But none would stop, none of them longed to be cloud, none searched for ferns or the tambourineâs yellow circuit. When the moon sails out pulleys will turn to trouble the sky; a boundary of needles will fence in memory and coffins will carry off those who donât work. New York of mud, New York of wire and death. What angel lies hidden in your cheek? What perfect voice will speak the truth of wheat? Who the terrible dream of your stained anemones? Not fo ...

It's been quite awhile since I last attended a fashion show that's open to the public so when American retail behemoth Express invited me last weekend to attend their 'Rock the Sidewalk' show, I thought, why not? It was a massive event held at the legendary Times Square here in New York City — just look at the aerial view of the crowds. Pure insanity! The show featured looks from their upcoming Holiday 2013 collection. Some of my favourite girls, Frida Gustavsson and my beloved Kasia Struss walked the show. I thought many of the menswear looks were terrific. I also loved the red lace dress Kasia wore towards the end — a very sexy, wham glam bam, frock perfect for the endless holiday parties this fall.
Many of you asked on Twitter and Instagram what I wore at the show. Both the sweater and the shorts are from Express. Click HERE to buy the striped sweater online.
To kick off their Fall 2013 project "Life Your Life" initiative, the lovely folks over at American Eagle invited some of their favourite friends to take part in their Rock Your Walk video project. I went to the launch party at their Times Square flagship store a few days ago and bumped into my lovelies Leandra Medine (of Manrepeller) and my fellow ANTM colleague Johnny Wujek who DJed at the event. Vanessa Hudgens and Jessica Szohr were also there. I also had so much fun taking over American Eagle's official instagram account that night!
I love American Eagle denim. They're so easy to wear, the price points are terrific and I could wear them with pretty much anything! It's so hot here in NYC so, at the very last minute, decided to cut off my American Eagle jeans and turn them into shorts!
Why don't you take part in the festivities and submit a video of yourself walking in their jeans? The best videos will be added to the an ongoing runway video and will be featured on American Eagle's major LED billboard on Times Square! Visit www.ae.com/RockYourWalk for more information or to submit your videos!

There was a time in my life when I used to carry (and check-in) designer luggage — back in the days when traveling was a luxury, you know, the odd once or twice a year vacation somewhere far-flung. Wind the clocks forward and traveling is no longer a luxury but an essential and necessary part of my work. I could be in Marrakech one week, Bali the next, and Sydney the other. There are days when I'd wake up in a hotel room and have no idea what time or what day of the week it was. A few friends of mine often joke how I travel more than a pilot.
When you log miles like crazy, it's practical to ditch your pricey luggage in favor of something sturdy but cheap and disposable. I never understood all these people who are shocked, especially on twitter and instagram, why I use relatively inexpensive bags. For years, I used this unnamed black trolley/roller bag from Chinatown, bought for no more than $30 many years ago, and had traveled to more cities than James Bond. I dubbed the bag my 'tranny case' because it kept everything and EVERYTHING I needed, life essentials and all that. It was sturdy as fuck, have been with me through thick and thin, desert (Salt Flats, Utah) and through four feet of snow (Stockholm, Sweden). You should've seen how distraught I was when my modest trolley bag died earlier this year. I dropped it on an empty escalator at Zurich airport and the handles broke, rendering the poor case useless.
For two months, I couldn't decide whether I should buy another inexpensive case or to go for an upgrade. I finally bit the bullet when I visited Bologna last week and bought myself a Louis Vuitton Keepall 45 and Pegasse 55 in the classic monogram canvas. They keyword here is CLASSIC. I could've opted for Goyard or something a little discreet such as Epi or Taiga leather at Vuitton but no. No, no, no, no, no no no. And NO to Damier canvas. I often think of the phrase 'false humility' whenever I see people carry Damier canvas because in their minds, they WANT something that screams "LOUIS VUITTON" but without the monograms so it's kind of like counterproductive. Talk about a whole new level of cray. If you're gonna go for Vuitton, go for the kill. More is more, pile on the logos, pile on the monograms. It doesn't hurt to be obnoxious from time to time.

I popped over to the Calvin Klein Collection showroom earlier this afternoon to see the Resort 2014 collection by Francisco Costa. I couldn't stop myself from touching the oh-so-chic ultrasuede pieces; love the green coat on the rack, the short, boxy white jacket and the long-sleeved blue top with the zip on the back. It was refreshing to see Francisco use denim. I also love the colourful collaboration with the artist Ellsworth Kelly. Not shown on the runway was this amazing, graphic, black and white printed jacket and trousers; had my name all over it. Want. Love. Need.
