Walt Whitman was a singer, thinker, visionary, and citizen extraordinaire. Thoreau called Whitman \"probably the greatest democrat that ever lived,\" and Emerson judged \u003ci\u003eLeaves of Grass\u003c\/i\u003e as \"the most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom America has yet contributed.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe text presented here is that of the \"Deathbed\" or ninth edition of \u003ci\u003eLeaves of Grass\u003c\/i\u003e, published in 1892.
