Whitman Illuminated: Song of Myself

Walt Whitman
Walt Whitman's iconic collection of poems, Leaves of Grass, has earned a reputation as a sacred American text. Whitman himself made such comparisons, going so far as to use biblical verse as a model for his own. So it's only appropriate that artist and illustrator Allen Crawford has chosen to illuminate - like medieval monks with their own holy scriptures - Whitman's masterpiece and the core of his poetic vision, 'Song of Myself'. Crawford has turned the original sixy-page poem from Whitman's 18...

    It is time to explain myself--let us stand up.

    What is known I strip away,
    I launch all men and women forward with me into the Unknown.

    The clock indicates the moment--but what does eternity indicate?

    We have thus far exhausted trillions of winters and summers,
    There are trillions ahead, and trillions ahead of them.


    Песнь Уитмена. Песнь человека. Песнь человечества - во славу человека. Песнь во славу жизни, природы, мира.
    Так и рисуется некий образ пророка, скурпулезно исследующего себя - и через себя просто человека. И ходит он по горам и скалам, по полям и по берегам рек, озер и океана; ходит по деревням и городам и воспевает саму жизнь, не забывая ни о хорошем, ни о плохом из всего того, что составляет жизнь, человеческое общество, природу и мир.
    По масштабам равнения я-человек-человечество песнь мне напоминает книги Томаса Вулфа.


    This day before dawn I ascended a hill and look'd at the crowded heaven,
    And I said to my spirit When we become the enfolders of those orbs,
    and the pleasure and knowledge of every thing in them, shall we
    be fill'd and satisfied then?
    And my spirit said No, we but level that lift to pass and continue beyond.

    The distillation would intoxicate me also,
    but I shall not let it

    There was never any more inception than there is now,
    Nor any more youth or age than there is now,
    And will never be any more perfection than there is now,
    Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now.

    You shall no longer take things at second or third hand,
    not look through the eyes of the dead,
    nor feed on the spectres in books.
    You shall not look through my eyes either,
    nor take things from me,
    you shall listen to all sides and filter them from yourself.
