"To him complaint and jealousy and envy are buried and rotten in the earth... he saw them buried"
Walt Whitman predicted the extinction of his beautiful species but also predicted the rearrival of the species. In his book Democratic Vistas, written in 1871,he said (I would not care to paraphrase it because it is beautifully written)that is though is deep love for the country that “I look for the counterbalance and offset of our materialistic and vulgar American Democracy, and for the spirituality thereof. Many will say it is a dream and will not follow my inferences: but I confidently expect a tie when there will be seen... threads of manly friendship, fond and loving, pure and sweet, strong and lifelong...refined self.” There is a hope that our handicapped society and capitalist ideals will reach its climax and we will restore the species of singing, bearded men.
