The Voice of Walt Whitman

You can hear gay American poet Walt Whitman reading his poem America here.

Remarkable. A gay icon...a contemporary of Abraham Lincoln. Suddenly alive. Fulfilling his prophesy:

Come, said my Soul,
Such verses for my Body let us write, (for we are one,)
That should after death I invisibly return...
Ever with pleas'd smile I may keep on...
