Excerpt from The Uncollected Poetry and Prose of Walt Whitman, Vol. 1 of 2: Much of Which Has Been but Recently Discovered With Various Early Manuscripts Now First Publlished The penning of these few sentences carries us back to other times - to events and days altogether unknown to the busy and swarming crowds of modern Brooklyn. We can almost see the Old Ferry, and the rude houseboats crossing, the pilot steering by the ancient tiller.2 We can almost think we see the rows of great elm trees shading Fulton street, and the unpaved sidewalks, with plenty of grass. We would walk down Love Lane, and stand upon Clover Hill, and view the. Bay and river. We cannot resist the inclination to indulge in a few reminiscences.
