]]> Comment on Class Notes – September 22 by Claire Fontaine http://mkgold.lookingforwhitman.org/2009/09/22/class-notes-septmeber-22/comment-page-1/#comment-3 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 20:26:36 +0000 http://mkgold.lookingforwhitman.org/?p=31#comment-3 These class notes are a great resource for students – in the event that they miss a class – and interested others, like me!

Also, I like the notions of the poem as puzzle and research as a game. This corresponds to how I have experienced and continue to experience learning (and I suspect most grad students would agree, or I would hope they would…). I would be interested to know what the undergraduates in this project think about this comparison between research and gaming, in terms of the aptness of the comparison.

Wow, I think that this is the essence of a lot of what Whitman is trying to say. Although he tends to get carried away with descriptions and can on occasion seem boisterous and preachy, I think that he really just wants to inspire people to enjoy life. Today we all always seem so rushed, here we are reminded to slow down and realize that every moment is a gift, every blade of grass is something to be admired and ever person is capable of even more than they probably think that they are.
