Even if it is just a glimmer of light
Text/Kitahara
He is the son of a carpenter, but he loves poetry passionately .
His first collection of poems was printed in 1,000 copies, but unfortunately, not a single one was sold. He had no choice but to give away all these poetry collections. The famous American poets Longfellow, Lowell and Holmes, who were already successful at that time, did not pay any attention to this pamphlet, while the great poet Whittier even threw it into the stove. Because in their eyes, a carpenter's son is not worthy of writing poetry at all.
The snubs and curses from all sides hit him like the north wind in the cold winter, and his heart suddenly turned into ice. Just when he was almost desperate, he unexpectedly received a reply from a poet who praised his collection of poems and said: "I think it is the most remarkable essence of intelligence that America has ever contributed." ?
This sincere praise and praise made him see the dawn of hope as if he was on the verge of death. From then on, he strengthened his belief in writing poetry. Many years later, he became a great poet recognized in the United States and even around the world. His only collection of poems has also become a classic in the history of poetry in the United States and even mankind.
He is Walt Whitman, and the name of that collection of poems is "Leaves of Grass." The poet who wrote a letter to praise and encourage him was Emerson, a famous figure in American literary circles at that time.
Mortal. When we walk in this world, it is inevitable to be criticized and ignored by others. But we must not let our upward desire be drowned by the spit of criticism, or our budding passion blocked by indifferent eyes. Because we have reason to believe that even if the darkness is boundless, there is always a light that can ignite you, dispel the haze in your soul, give you warmth, comfort, and confidence and courage, even if it is just a little bit. Light.
