by Walt Whitman

Guide to the HyperText version of the poem

 

Some questions about the links I made

Content 

  • Why does the hypertext version of the poem contain so many storm images?
  • Why might the link in this line be important: "(No sweetness debonair of tearful harp or glib piano thine,)"?
  • How can the links in line 2 guide the navigation of the poem as a whole?
  • How do the various locomotive image links contribute to the navigation of the poem (besides, of course, helping readers envision train technology)?
  • How does the "Walt Whitman Mall" link help a reader's experience with this poem?
