Waldo Emerson, letter to Whitman, |

| 21
July 1855: |
|||||||||
| • | “I
find [Leaves of Grass] the most |
||||||||
| extraordinary
piece of wit & wisdom that |
|||||||||
| America
has yet contributed. . . . I greet you |
|||||||||
| at
the beginning of a great career, which yet |
|||||||||
| must
have had a long foreground |
|||||||||
| somewhere,
for such a start.” |
