" These Carols" by Walt Whitman "These carols sung to cheer my passage through the world I see. For completion, I dedicate to the Invisble world." (Whitman)

My words: Carols are like songs; Passages are like the day`s we live in; Dedicate is like when you die. He is trying to get to the other world so they can hear all different things. SS

"Heart, We Will Forget Him!" (Emily Dickinson) Soul! She won't forget her! You and Tim- tomorrow He may forgive the mistakes she made She will forget the sound!

When you have gone- play with him She may return again! Sing while you are waiting! I hate her! (My words CW)

" Portals" by Walt Whitman What are those of the Known but to ascend and enter the Unknown? And what are those of Life but for Death?

( My words)

It is a doorway, or an enterance, or a gateway It is the gateway for heaven and the earth. (ZN)

"A Voice from Death" by Walt Whitman Voices are death, They're strange in all their powers, They suddenly blow with the humanity of the people being slain, The dwellings of thee Iron Bridges to, The first cry of a child being born, Death faces us in every way we turn our eyes to thee, These corpses put here for us to see in the muddy waters many gatherd to the funeral.

Now voyager by Walt Whitman

" untold want from life and land ne'er granted, now, voyager sail thou forth to seek and find"

It means to me that you are on a ship in the middle of the ocean and you are seeking to find more land like how the pilgrams found America. (BD)

[] (CW) CW: How does this candy advertisement relate to the era of Whitman and Dickinson and the era of new American poetry? V. I think it shows the use of candy and how new american poetry has changed through the years. I know its doesn't relate to Whitman or Dickson I just think its a good example of how poetry is changing every day.

Walt Whitman was a part in the Johnstown Flood. He also was a nurse in the Civil War. He helped many of the soliders that were wounded in the war. (CW) CW: Whitman was aware of this disaster. I don't think I would be comfortable stating he was a part of it. V.

"Song of Myself" Walt Whitman (JR) It means to me that you celebrate when your happy. (JR)
