We explored further the democratic Transcendentalism of Walt Whitman's poetry. For Whitman (unlike Emerson, for example) being at one with the universe -- or kosmos, in Whitman's term -- is also to be at one with everyone; our common participation in nature is allied with our fundamental equality.
We read sections 15, 16, 17, 21, and 24 of "Song of Myself," taking turns reading lines and stanzas.
