Conversations With Walt Whitman (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Conversations With Walt Whitman
On one of these expeditions I entered a little store which hitherto had escaped my invasions. It looked as it'it had never been swept, the dust lay a quarter of an inch thick on the shelves. The proprietor, dusty like his books, with a rich layer of dandruff on his back and shoulders, his coat and shirt front spotted with tokens of his meals, was sitting on a box, a cigar clenched in his mouth, and reading very intensely. He was a man of middle age, with quite a fierce interesting physiognomy, and as I soon found out, different to the ordinary book: sellers - also his stock -was more select - being the author of several excellent poems.
I soon became a regular frequenter of this place, where amongst others I made the acquaintance of an old, well to do Quaker - dressed in old fashioned drab suit, clerical neckwear, and broad brim, exactly as the Friends had walked about Independence Hall a hundred years before - Who played an important part in my drama of life, as he launched me into a more intellectual society than hitherto had been my deplorable fate to associate with.
