Walt Whitman | Additional Description:
“Many men of letters were there, but chief and fittest for the hour was Walt Whitman, the living poet of America … His grand physique is not often seen in a lifetime. To-day his tottering steps, his snowy beard, mingling with locks long and white, his kindly face, was photographed for life upon the memory of the hundreds who with him stood around the grave of Edgar A. Poe…” — The Republican (Baltimore), November 18, 1875
