Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leaves of Grass, Vol. 3 Had I not better withhold (in this old age and paralysis of me) such little tags and fringe-dots (maybe specks, stains, ) as follow a long dusty journey, and witness it afterward? I have probably not been enough afraid of careless touches, from the first - and am not now - nor of parrot-like repetitions - nor platitudes and the commonplace. Perhaps I am too democratic for such avoidances. Besides, is not the verse-field, as originally plann'd by my theory, now sufficiently illustrated - and full time for me to silently retire? - (indeed amid no loud call or market for my sort of poetic utterance). In answer, or rather defiance, to that kind of well-put interrogation, here comes this little cluster, and conclusion of my preceding clusters.
