November Boughs (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161445206)

November Boughs is a collection of poems and essays written by the renowned American poet, Walt Whitman. The book was originally published in 1888 and contains a total of 34 pieces, including some of Whitman's most famous poems like ""When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd"" and ""O Captain! My Captain!"".The book is divided into two parts, with the first part consisting of 14 essays and the second part containing 20 poems. In the essays, Whitman reflects on a variety of topics such as his personal experiences, politics, and the state of American culture. He also discusses the role of the poet in society and the importance of individualism and democracy.The poems in November Boughs are typical of Whitman's style, with long, free-flowing lines and a focus on the beauty of nature and the human experience. Many of the poems are inspired by Whitman's travels and experiences, and they explore themes such as love, death, and the passage of time.Overall, November Boughs is a beautiful and thought-provoking collection of Whitman's work that showcases his unique style and perspective on the world. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American literature and poetry.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.
