Great Books for August
Out of the cradle endlessly rocking... begins Walt Whitman's touching poem of childhood remembrance. A singular event from his boyhood seems to set the entire course of the poet's creative career: My own songs awaked from that hour. As the eternal sea lolls the young Whitman, she whispers him a lullaby. Read his poem to understand why the melodious sea sings: Death, death, death, death, death.
Join us on Thursday, August 4th, 10:00am at the Carrollton campus auditorium to discuss Whitman's poem. Though the conversation occurs during the Classical Educators Training, conference registration is not required to attend.
