Whitman's cool, I guess

I appreciate Whitman for what he did, by writing his stream of consciousness, and I find some of his passages particularly significant to me... mostly because I can make it my own. Whitman doesn't say anything specific about life, nature, people... he makes general statements --albeit creepy ones at times-- that most people could probably relate to. Thought is so abstract, so difficult to pin down, but Whitman succeeds. He succeeds in a way that makes his thought applicable to everyone.
