Nesta data em 1819 nascia Walt Whitman (1819-1892), “O pai do verso livre”, o qual não só trouxe a poesia mundial a um novo patamar, mas aprofundou a visão do que se é o humano. E hoje no seu aniversário de 195 anos:
My 71st Year
by Walt Whitman
After surmounting threescore and ten,
With all their chances, changes, losses, sorrows,
My parents’ deaths, the vagaries of my life, the many tearing passions of me, the war of ‘63 and ‘4,
As some old broken soldier, after a long, hot, wearying march, or as haply after battle,
At twilight, hobbling, answering yet to company roll-call, Here, with vital voice,
Reporting yet, saluting yet the Officer over all.
Walt Whitman (1819-1892)
