Analysis of Race Of Veterans
Walt Whitman 1819 (West Hills) – 1892 (Camden)
RACE of veterans! Race of victors!
Race of the soil, ready for conflict! race of the conquering march!
(No more credulity's race, abiding-temper'd race;)
Race henceforth owning no law but the law of itself;
Race of passion and the storm.
