  see notes July 2 1891 Walt Whitman,

Be thou accursed,—who, calling thyself a poet, in the extremist tone of Vanity!—fail to recognize a poet—a bard, far greater than thou!!

Yea! Be thou, doubly accursed!!—for thy ignominious and dastardly attitude toward this loyal bard! So far above thee in Love Greatness  that, thou​ though​ it seemeth must needs in gross pusillanimity assume to be totally oblivious of his Existence!!!

Yea!! Be thou trebly accursed!!!

Luther Carlyle Jr.
