An amazing fact: Thomas Edison actually recorded Walt Whitman reciting one of his other poems, and you can hear part of it at Amazon. Go to this shortened link to listen:

(Helpful hint for return visits to Amazon: you have to search for this title under 'Classical Music' rather than under 'Books' in order to listen to samples.)

Beautiful reading. ::fingers snapping (like in coffee shops):: This is a favorite of mine as well. Whitman paints a stirring image with his words.
Well done!
