Whitman is the poet, finally, who comes full circle, who includes everything, but he will not be forced. I think of Leaves of Grass as a necklace gradually becoming visible for me as I grow older, the necklace of "The glories strung like beads on my smallest sights and hearings" of "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry," each poem, perhaps, a bead of different size on the necklace, the necklace and the beads themselves, of course, shifting shapes in time and changing light.
