ブルックリン美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (ブルックリン美術館Instagram)「Happy Birthday, Walt Whitman! Today marks the 200th anniversary of the American literary icon and an early librarian at our founding institution, Brooklyn Apprentices' Library! His deep-rooted connection to Brooklyn is pervasive in his literature—from “Crossing Brooklyn Ferry,” which describes the Brooklyn commute over the East River into Manhattan, to “Leaves of Grass,” which was published here. Even after moving away, Whitman’s lasting love for the borough caused him to return multiple times, and his legacy remains alive in Brooklyn today. ⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀ #ThomasJohnson (American, born England, 1843-1904). #WaltWhitman, ca. 1890.
