Despite an improvement in January, Whitman did little more than endure, often in considerable pain, until his death on 26 March 1892. He was found the next day to have congestion in the right lung his physicians sensed that the end was near. The list of poems I am taking from my paper edition, which I believe is the most complete, but of course individual poems have the same text and section in all editions, so no worries as to source. On December 17 Whitman came down with a chill and had to be helped to bed. If anyone knows of existing whitman nodes I've missed, or nodes any themselves then /msg me and I'll link it in! (if you feel like noding some, it's on the web in various spots. I'll start with the section headings, and link the poems in underneath as I add them. I'm feeling feisty, and the copyright has expired, so I'm going to start my own personal quest: to node up Leaves of Grass.
