Walt Whitman was a singer, thinker, visionary, and citizen extraordinaire. Thoreau called Whitman “probably the greatest democrat that ever lived,” and Emerson judged \u003ci\u003eLeaves of Grass\u003c\/i\u003e as “the most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom America has yet contributed.”\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe text presented here is that of the “Deathbed” or ninth edition of \u003ci\u003eLeaves of Grass\u003c\/i\u003e, published in 1892.
