| Note: | Taken, as was a simiilar photograph, in Whitman's upstairs bedroom. Here the legendary chaos of papers that surrounded Whitman in his last years is visible; he likened the mass to a sea, resisted efforts of his housekeeper and friends to sort it out, and claimed that whatever he needed surfaced eventually. |
