WHITMAN MEMORIAL: Homage to an American Sage

Tim: 	Whitman was more than a poet – he was a cultural icon.

Ted: 	Of what?

Tim: 	Of individualism.

Kris: 	Yeah man – he was the Allen Ginsberg of the 19th Century.

Terri: 	You could say that. Or perhaps Ginsberg was the Whitman of a century later?

Tim: 	(shrugging his shoulders) Whatever. . . Rhetoric has no end, but human life is short.

Sam: 	(waving good-bye) So is this conversation.
