Content:
A manuscript that contains a list of trial titles, probably for the poem first published
as "Calamus 15" in
Leaves of Grass
(1860) and
eventually titled "Trickle
Drops." On the reverse (duk.00890) is a fragment of about two and a half
lines of poetry, heavily corrected, whose relationship to Whitman's published writing
is unknown. This scrap has been attached by a collector or archivist to a
backing sheet, together with "And there,"
"'The Scout'," and "In a poem make the."
