章節(jié)摘錄

　　Implicit in Whitman‘s portrayals of men at war and in the military hospi-tals was the view that they constituted an alternative and superior society，the redeemed society of his visionary America. By contrast， the civilian society of actual wartime America was for him “the world of gain and appearance and mirth　he stigmatized in “The Wound Dresser.　His deep mistrust of the power of money in the boonung capitalist society of the North led him to emphasize that a different “currency” circulated in the hospitals - a currency of love and affeaion symbolized， as he explained in Spec伽len Days， both by the little gifts he brought the men and the caresses he exchanged with them: “Another thing became clear to me - wlule cash is not amiss to bring up the rear， tact and magnetic sympathy and unction are， and ever will be， sovereign still”（Prose Works l， 82）. Drum-Taps is， there-fore， a book that sought to replace the cash nexus that was coming to dominate existing northern society with a network of intimate， comradely relationships.　　……
