EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of Walt Whitman's timeless poetry, as embodied in the iconic image of the Leaves of Grass edition published in 1913. The photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to an era when the printed word held a special allure and connection to the natural world. The image features a close-up view of the cover of the book, with its distinctive brown leather binding and embossed title. But it is the poet's words, etched into the cover in gold lettering, that truly capture our attention. The phrase "We are Nature, we are bedded in the ground, we are rocks" speaks to the deep connection between humanity and the natural world, a theme that runs throughout Whitman's work. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its representation of a seminal moment in American literature. The Leaves of Grass, first published in 1855, was a groundbreaking work that challenged traditional poetic forms and celebrated the human experience in all its complexity. This 1913 edition, with its elegant design and durable leather binding, attests to the enduring appeal of Whitman's poetry and its continued relevance in the modern world. The photograph also invites us to reflect on the concept of time and the passage of history. The image of the book, with its worn edges and faded gold lettering, serves as a reminder of the transient nature of human creations, even as the words within continue to resonate and inspire. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of the power of the written word to transport us beyond the confines of the present moment and connect us to the rich tapestry of human history.
