Song of Myself - Author
By Walt Whitman
WALT WHITMAN (1819-1892) , the 'people's poet ' , is perhaps the most individualistic literary figure that America has ever produced . He began working as a carpenter before his twelfth birthday. He also worked as a printer, teacher, and editor and was volunteer nurse during the Civil War. Whitman's poetry , all of which is collected in leaves of Grass, is known for its free rhythms and lack of rhyme. Whitman first published it at his own expense in 1855. However, the free form of the poems and the joyful dedications to the importance of the individual' were not well received at first. In fact , his collection of poems cost Whitman his job, as it was taken to be obscene. In 1881, after many editions , Leaves of Grass finally found a publisher willing to print it uncensored. Translations of this collection were enthusiastically received in Europe, but Whitman remained relatively unappreciated in America . It was only after his death that he could win appreciation in America for his original and innovative expression of American individualism. His important works include Leaves of Grass (1855) and Drum Taps (1866).

वाल्ट व्हिटमैन (1819-1892), 'लोगों का कवि', शायद सबसे अधिक व्यक्तिवादी साहित्यिक व्यक्ति है जिसे अमेरिका ने कभी बनाया है। उन्होंने अपने बारहवें जन्मदिन से पहले ही बढ़ई का काम करना शुरू कर दिया था। उन्होंने एक प्रिंटर, शिक्षक और संपादक के रूप में भी काम किया और गृहयुद्ध के दौरान स्वयंसेवक नर्स थे। व्हिटमैन की कविता, जो सभी घास की पत्तियों में एकत्र की जाती है, अपनी मुक्त लय और तुकबंदी की कमी के लिए जानी जाती है। व्हिटमैन ने इसे पहली बार 1855 में अपने खर्च पर प्रकाशित किया था। हालांकि, कविताओं के मुक्त रूप और व्यक्ति के महत्व के लिए हर्षित समर्पण 'पहले अच्छी तरह से प्राप्त नहीं हुए थे। वास्तव में, उनकी कविताओं के संग्रह ने व्हिटमैन को उनकी नौकरी की कीमत चुकाई, क्योंकि इसे अश्लील माना गया था। 1881 में, कई संस्करणों के बाद, लीव्स ऑफ ग्रास को आखिरकार एक प्रकाशक मिला जो इसे बिना सेंसर किए प्रिंट करने के लिए तैयार था। इस संग्रह के अनुवाद यूरोप में उत्साहपूर्वक प्राप्त हुए, लेकिन अमेरिका में व्हिटमैन की अपेक्षाकृत सराहना नहीं की गई। उनकी मृत्यु के बाद ही उन्हें अमेरिकी व्यक्तिवाद की अपनी मूल और अभिनव अभिव्यक्ति के लिए अमेरिका में सराहना मिली। उनके महत्वपूर्ण कार्यों में लीव्स ऑफ ग्रास (1855) और ड्रम टैप्स (1866) शामिल हैं।

Song of Myself - Summary in Hindi
सारांश : Song of Myself हृीटमैन की रचना है । प्रस्तुत कविता में कवि ने अमेरीकन व्यक्तिवाद को सुन्द्रर तरीके से प्रस्तु किया है । उन्होंने अपने जीवन के लक्ष्य को प्रस्तुत किया है और कहता है कि वह स्वतः आनन्द प्राप्त करता है और गीत गाता है । वह सोचता है कि जो अनुभूति उसकी है वह अन्य की भी होगी । कवि का विचार है कि मानव - मानव में समानता है । जो अनुभूति उसकी है वह अन्य की भी होगी । कवि के कहने का तात्पर्य है कि प्रत्येक व्यक्ति के जीवन का अनुभव एक समान है । मानव मात्र के शरीर मे प्रत्येक रक्त कण समाण है ।
कवि बिना लक्ष्य के आगे बढ़ता है और सोचता रहता है । आराम के उपरान्त वह आगे बढ़ता है तो ग्रीष्म के घास के मस्तूल को देखता है । ऐसा प्रतीत होता है कि वह कांटा का गुच्छा हो । कवि कहता है कि सुख और दुःख जीवन का दो हिस्सा है । जीवन सुख का शैय नहीं है । कवि दुःख की अनुभूति करता है । वह गहन चिन्तन में खो जाता है और कहता है कि शरीर के रक्त एवं अन्य कण इस मिट्टी और हवा से निर्मित है । यह सत्य है कि प्रत्येक व्यक्ति एक के बाद एक करके इस धरती पर जन्म लेता है । बच्चा ही मानव का पिता है । कवि सैतीस वर्श का हो चुका है एवं स्वस्थ है । वह आशा करता है कि मृत्यु पर्यत वह स्वस्थ रहे ।
वह धार्मिक विचार का है । शीक्षा के संदर्भ में उसका विचार अनोखा है वह धर्म और शिक्षा की परवाह न कर मानवता को पुनः स्थापित करने का इच्छुक है । उसके मानस पटल पर अच्छाई और बुराई मौजूद है । विपत्ति के समय वह अपना विचार व्यक्त करना चाहता है और कहता है कि प्रकृति पर प्रतिबंध नहीं लगाना चाहिए अन्यथा वह खतरनाक सिद्ध होगा । प्रकृति की छटा अनुपम है और वह प्रतिबंध रहित होकर जीवन भर अपने मूल रूप में कायम रहता है ।
