I’m welcoming America’s 250th anniversary by reading who else but our greatest bard. All of the unrivaled art that America has contributed in literature, music, and film is indebted to the form Whitman inaugurated. This edition also includes Whitman’s original introduction to the 1855 edition which apparently never appeared in the later editions of Leaves of Grass. Every American should read it this July 4th.

Blow trumpeter free and clear, I follow thee,
While at thy liquid prelude, glad, serene,
The fretting world, the streets, the noisy hours of day withdraw,
A holy calm descends like dew upon me,
I walk in cool refreshing night the walks of Paradise,
I scent the grass, the moist air and the roses;
Thy song expands my numb'd imbonded spirit, thou freest, launchest me,
Floating and basking upon heaven's lake.
