              Started reading Leaves of Grass. Although, it isn't the original. Leaves of Grass started as 12 poems. By the end of Whitman's life, there were about 400 he had added. I'm reading the best of the 400.

              'Song Of Myself' is by far the best part of this collection of poetry so far.

                Crucifixio Jones "You have not known what you are--you have slumber'd upon yourself all
                your life;
                Your eye-lids have been the same as closed most of the time;
                What you have done returns already in mockeries;
                The mockeries are not you;
                Underneath them, and within them, I see you lurk"

                Keri Russell says this part of "To You" to Edward Norton in the movie LEAVES OF GRASS (2009) when they first get to spend some quality 'alone' time together (actually, he's watching her catch catfish). Seems fitting. Good morning. :D

              Not really reading this, but closest I could get to what I'm really reading, which is Drum Beats: Walt Whitman's Civil War Boy Lovers.
