Part two of my reading of “By Blue Ontario’s Shore” by Walt Whitman.
Leaves of Grass editor Karen Karbiener notes about the sequence “By Blue Ontario’s Shore”:
“From its first appearance in 1856, this poem has functioned as Whitman’s definitive social statement. In 1856 it constituted a broad directive for how the country might be unified; the poem echoed many of the commands of the Preface, and actually used or modified many of its most powerful statements.”
