Walt, Poetry and more poetry

Walt Whitman is a famous poet, essayist and journalist and obviously wrote poetry. He is a romanticist because he emphasized on nature and went more in depth with his writings. My favorite poem was "Poets to Come" because of what it is saying. What i got out of it is that people can do anything they want to if they put their minds to it and if people do that then there is going to be a lot of great and successful people in this world.

Poets to Come

Poets to come! orators, singers, musicians to come!

Not to-day is to justify me and answer what I am for,

But you, a new brood, native, athletic, continental, greater than before known, 

Arouse! for you must justify me.

I myself but write one or two indicative words for the future,

I but advance a moment only to wheel and hurry back in the darkness.

I am a man who,sauntering along without fully stopping, turns a casual look upon you and then averts his face,

Leaving it to you to prove and define it, Expecting the main things from you.
