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.
