Leaves of Grass with Sands at Seventy and A Backward Glance o'er
Travel'd Roads.
To-day, after finishing my 70th year, the fancy comes for
celebrating it by a special, complete, final utterance, in one
handy volume, of L. of G., with their Annex, and Backward
Glance--and for stamping and sprinkling all with portraits and
facial photos, such as they actually were, taken from life,
different stages. Doubtless, anyhow, the volume is more a
_Person_ than a book. And for testimony to all (and for good
measure) I here with pen and ink append my name: Walt Whitman.
