Abstract
The final chapter of this book, "A Day with the Good Gray Poet," recounts the author's conversation with Walt Whitman at Whitman's home in Camden, New Jersey, towards the end of the poet's life. In the course of their conversation Whitman reflects with affection upon fellow Pfaffian George Arnold, whom "Whitman loved and mourned . . . tenderly " (210).
