THOUGHT (6), by WALT WHITMAN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Of what I write from myself - as if that were not the resume
Last Line: The lives of heroes.
First Line: Of what I write from myself - as if that were not the resume
Last Line: The lives of heroes.
Of what I write from myself -- As if that were not the resume;
Of Histories -- As if such, however complete, were not less
complete than the preceding poems;
As if those shreds, the records of nations, could possibly
be as lasting as the preceding poems;
As if here were not the amount of all nations, and of all
the lives of heroes.
