When Walt Whitman self-published his Leaves of Grass in July 1855, he altered the course of literary history. One of the greatest masterpieces of American literature, it redefined the rules of poetry while describing the soul of the American character.
Throughout his great career, Whitman continuously revised, expanded, and republished Leaves of Grass, but as Harold Bloom reminds us, the book that matters most is the 1855 original. In celebration of the poem's 150th anniversary, Penguin Classics proudly presents the 1855 text in its original and complete form, with a specially commissioned introductory essay by Harold Bloom.
I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
"Whitman, the great poet, has meant so much to me. Whitman the one man breaking a way ahead. Whitman the one pioneer . . . Ahead of Whitman, nothing. Ahead of all poets, pioneering into the wilderness of unopened life, Whitman. Beyond him, none." —D. H. Lawrence

用戶評價
我蹩腳的英文讀詩歌時還是會詞不達意理解的麵目全非，迫不得已藉瞭翻譯來讀，所幸那本翻譯實在是太好，於是不僅僅感到瞭惠特曼的強力，更看到瞭他在萬韆世界中選取的如草葉一般的對象，看到瞭他內心細微的分裂，看到瞭他所呼籲的平等自由的哲理，幻想和真實的經驗的交錯。雖然不能同意他，但是詩歌的魔力就在於這錶達間給人的重創，多少次讀他的排比讀到泣不成聲，多少次被他簡短的all my lovers and sisters的錶白而壓倒，多少次被插在句子間一個簡短的感嘆詞"O"逼得不得不放下書消化這天賦的語感，多少次看著他文本間視角自然地轉化。對於非英語母語的人來說，你一定要能突破語言的障礙，在不斷熟悉其意義的過程後流暢的感受到他的力量，然後惠特曼會成為他本來的樣子，一個最偉大的詩人，打開瞭你從不曾感受到的世界。
