I wasn’t aware of how NY felt towards Lincoln–fascinating! I did study Whitman’s poem in college, though I’d forgotten about that. Wonderful lines–both in the drawing and the poem!

The exhibit does end with Whitman’s elegy, but I was unfamiliar until I just now read it. Thanks Pat.

I always find it interesting to learn about when two very special people “brush up” against each other and make a mark. Thanks for the picture!
Pat
