Walt Whitman

/ˌwɔːlt ˈwɪtmən/

(1819-92) a major US poet who wrote about individual freedom, equal rights and sexual love, as well as about his love for America. Though many readers thought his poems were immoral, he had a strong influence on later American poets, especially the beat generation. He used the new form of 'free verse', in which lines do not rhyme (= end with the same sound). His best-known works are Leaves of Grass, Drum Taps (1865) and a collection of writings, Democratic Vistas (1871).“I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain'd,I stand and look at them long and long.They do not sweat and whine about their condition, …Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things,Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago,Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth.”Leaves of Grass(1819-92) 美国一位重要诗人，他描写个人自由、平等权利和性爱，以及他对美国的热爱。尽管许多读者认为他的诗不道德，但他对后来的美国诗人，尤其是垮掉的一代产生了深远的影响。他使用了“自由诗”的新形式，其中的诗行不押韵（=以相同的声音结尾）。他最著名的作品是《草叶集》、《鼓点》（1865 年）和一部文集《民主远景》（1871 年）。站着，长久地看着他们。他们不会为自己的状况流汗和抱怨，……没有人不满意，没有人因拥有事物的狂热而疯狂，没有人向另一个人下跪，也没有向生活了数千年的同类下跪。许多年前，整个地球上没有人是受人尊敬的，也没有人是不幸福的。”《草叶集》
