What in me is dark
Illumin, what is low raise and support;
That to the highth of this great Argument
I may assert Eternal Providence,
And justifie the wayes of God to men.
John Milton

American Literature: Whitman and Dickinson

Welcome back, American Lit students!

Below are the links to the two Walt Whitman poems you've been assigned for this week. Remember that for "Song of Myself," you only need read the sections that were specifically assigned: 1, 6, 7, 15, 32, 52. I  recommend copying and pasting only these sections into a Word Document so that you don't waste paper and ink printing out the whole poem. You may read the whole poem, but we won't be discussing other sections in class.

"The Wound-Dresser" is more straightforward, but I wouldn't read it while eating.

Remember to print these out and bring them to class on Tuesday. Class will revolve around the printouts you bring. Enjoy--
