plus mary oliver’s love for whitman, and that i’ve had it on my kindle for a while now.
some of these are bangers. some i do not get. should probably familiarize myself with whitman’s (historical?) context. my partner tells me civil war.
just got to book ii, which feels more consistently lucid than book i. me gusta.

Whitman would have thought Camus’ smiling Sysiphus absurd:
I shall go with the rest,
We cannot be stopped at a given point…that is no satisfaction; /
We must have the indestructible breed of the best, regardless of time. /
If otherwise, all these things came but to ashes and dung; /
If maggots and rats ended us, then suspicion and treachery and death.
