November Boughs

By Walt Whitman

Book Overview

November Boughs is a collection of essays and poems by the renowned American poet Walt Whitman. Originally published in 1888, the book is a reflection on Whitman's life and times, and contains some of his most famous works, including ""Song of Myself"" and ""O Captain My Captain "" The essays in the book cover a wide range of topics, from politics and social issues to literature and art. Whitman shares his thoughts on democracy, the Civil War, and the role of the artist in society. He also reflects on his own life and experiences, offering insights into his creative process and the inspiration behind his poetry.The poems in November Boughs are a mix of new and previously published works. Many of them are inspired by nature, with Whitman celebrating the beauty of the changing seasons and the rhythms of the natural world. Others are more personal, exploring themes of love, loss, and mortality.Overall, November Boughs is a rich and thought-provoking collection that offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of America's greatest poets. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Whitman's work, as well as those interested in American literature and culture more broadly.Beautiful as the song was, the original Locksley Hall' of half a century ago was essentially morbid, heart-broken, finding fault with everything, especially the fact of money's being made (as it ever must be, and perhaps should be) the paramount matter in worldly affairs; Every door is barr'd with gold, and opens but to golden keys.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
