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
• 9 editions and last edition includes more than 400 poems
• written in a new kind of versification called free verse.

Literary Significance
• His innovations in diction and versification, his frankness about sex, his inclusion of the commonplace and the ugly and his censure of the weakness of the American democratic practice – all have paved his way to a share of immortality in American literature.

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.

(2) He advocates the realization of the individual value. Most of the poems in Leaves of Grass sing of the "en-masse" and the self as well. (3) Pursuit of love and happiness is approved of repeatedly and affectionately in his lines. Sexual love, a rather taboo topic of the time, is displayed candidly as something adorable. The individual person and his desires must be respected.

Whitman's democratic ideals
Whitman's democratic ideas govern his poetrywriting. In his famous poetry, openness, freedom, and above all, individualism (the belief that the rights and freedom of individual people are most important) are all that concerned him.

ves of Grass
On July 4, 2005, we celebrated the 150th anniversary of what is possibly the greatest book of American poetry ever written. in 1855, Walt Whitman published his first edition of Leaves of Grass, a slim volume consisting of twelve untitled poems and a preface.
Some of his many subjects included slavery, democracy, the various occupations and types of work, the American landscape, the sea, the natural world, the Civil War, education, aging, death and immortality, poverty, romantic love, spirituality, and social change.

I sit and look out upon all the sorrows of the world, and upon all oppression and shame; I sit here and look out at all the sorrows of human world, and look at all the oppression and shame of this world.
I see the workings of battle, pestilence, tyranny--I see martyrs and prisoners; I see in the human world, some are fighting against the others; some are suffering from the deadly disease; some are cruelly ruling the people; some are sacrificing their lives for their belief; some had committed crime and had been imprisoned.

作者简介
惠特曼简介：华尔特· 惠特曼（Walt Whitman 1819-1892）美 国浪漫主义最伟大的诗人，生于美国长岛一个海滨小村庄。 父亲当时是个无地的农民。惠特曼5岁那年全家迁移到布鲁 克林，父亲在那儿做木工，承建房屋，惠特曼在那儿开始上 小学。由于生活穷困，惠特曼只读了5年小学。他当过信差， 学过排字，后来当过乡村教师和编辑。这段生活经历使他广 泛地接触人民，接触大自然，对后来的诗歌创作产生了极大 的影响。1841年以后，他又回到了纽约，开始当印刷工人， 不久就改当记者，并开始写作。几年以后，他成了一家较有 名望的报纸《鹫鹰报》的主笔，不断撰写反对奴隶制，反对 雇主剥削的论文和短评。40年代未他加入了“自由土地党”， 反对美国的蓄奴制，主张土地改革。

作者简介
1848年西欧各国爆发了革命，对惠特曼影响很大。他在报纸 上发表文章沤歌欧洲革命，并写了不少诗来表达自己的心境， 其中包括《欧洲》、《法兰西》、《近代的岁月》等等。 1850年起他脱离新闻界，重操他父亲的旧业——当木匠和建 筑师。这期间，他创作了他的代表作诗集《草叶集》 （1855）。 1861年美国南北战争爆发。内战结束后他自费 发表了反映内战的诗篇《桴鼓集》(1865)。几个月后他又出 版了一本续集，其中有悼念林肯的名篇《最近紫丁香在庭院 里开放的时候》，《哦，船长！我的船长》等等。

自我之歌.pptx
America’s first “poet of democracy”
Whitman's democratic ideas govern his poetry-writing.
In his famous poetry, openness, freedom, and above all, individualism (the belief that the rights and freedom of individual people are most important) are all that concerned him.
• In Song of Myself, Whitman believed that two people could be “twain yet one”, their paths could be different, and yet they could achieve a kind of transcendent contact.
有个世界是意识到了的，而且对我说来是最大的世界， 那便是我自己， 无论今天我能得到，或者要在千百万年之后我才能得到我应得的一切， 我现在就愉快的接受，或同样愉快的等待。
我的立足点是同花岗岩连着的， 我嘲笑你们所谓的消亡， 我深知时间是多么宽广。
31 我相信一片草叶的意义不亚于星星每日的工程， 一只蝼蚁、一粒沙，一个鹪鹩蛋，都是同样地完美，
2. Individual value
3. Pursuit of love and happiness
4. Sexual love The individual person and his desires must be respected.
