Whitman’s “Song of Myself” Playlist
The next track: Pat Benatar’s “Love is a battlefield” – or at least life is in Whitman’s poem “Life.”
EVER the undiscouraged, resolute, struggling soul of man;
(Have former armies fail’d then we send fresh armies—and fresh again;)
Ever the grappled mystery of all earth’s ages old or new;
Ever the eager eyes, hurrahs, the welcome-clapping hands, the loud applause;
Ever the soul dissatisfied, curious, unconvinced at last;
Struggling to-day the same—battling the same.
Just keep going!
