Apologizes to Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman was neither cranky nor old when he wrote Leaves of Grass at the age of 31. He was in fact quite happy, loving the richness and diversity of life. Writing in free verse, Whitman expressed his naturalist view of life's mysteries. Whitman spent the rest of his life revising Leaves of Grass, suggesting, that life is an ongoing act of learning nature's wonders.
