It contains, too, his nature studies, jotted down at the Stafford Farm near Camden during the years of convalescence after his paralysis in 1873. In these records of his observations, Whitman’s love and devoted care of the individual soldiers overshadow his concern for the course of the war itself and his interest in its major personalities. He sees, above all else, the wounded men in front of him, and these he describes in the simple, direct language that unmistakably marks his poetry as well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Walt Whitman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48272937484539,"sku":"9780814794289","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_278b83e9-5032-4303-8710-2e498cdd8ae3.jpg?v=1777785376","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/prose-works-1892-volume-i-9780814794289","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
