There are four authors I ALWAYS give a free pass on wordiness to, because they've proven they can handle the responsibility. Whitman is one of them.
This is thy hour O Soul, thy free flight into the wordless, Away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done, Thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the themes thou lovest best. Night, sleep, and the stars.
