Whitman's account of his visits to the wounded soldiers after the Battle of Fredricksburg - an honest but gruesome description of the soldiers, and a compassionate view of Whitman's kindness.
A most moving episode, which made me realise that the horrors of war are best portrayed by the accounts of individual suffering and care for the wounded. Nothing changes.
Thank you RLA for your wonderful delivery of Whitman’s war poems.
Thanks, Joe. Yes, nothing changes, and that's why keeping in touch with older literature can be so important.
