" ™Prose, 281.
Walt Whitman and the Germans. 23 nature ; that is the reason why the most glorious productions are those of the oldest peoples, and of the children of nature, like Moses and Homer. For culture is dangerous for poetry.
Culture has weakened our eyes, lamed our hands ; it has made us lose the pregnancy of thought and expression, the flexibility and sincerity of sentiment, all of which the old heroes of litera- ture possessed. But not by imitating these great masters may we expect to... raise our literature to a higher and nobler plane, but only by learning from them the art how to write poetry.
These poets knew how to absorb and reflect their own nature and history, the current thoughts and the language. We must become imitators of ourselves — we must be original. After the above citations bearing upon this phase, we discontinue to give parallel passages from Whitman's works, for we would have to reprint all of Democratic Vistas, the Preface to Leaves of Grass, Poetry in Atnerica To-day and American National Literature.
