Picture 2
... how contemptible all the usual little worldly prides & vanities & striving after appearances, seems in the midst of such scenes as thesesuch tragedies of soul & body. To see such things & not be able to help them is awfulI feel almost ashamed of being so well & whole.
Picture 3
I wish you could see the whole scene. This young man lies within reach of me, flat on his back, his hands clasp'd across his breast, his thick hair cut close; he is dozing, breathing hard, every breath a spasmit looks so cruel. He is a noble youngster,I consider him past all hope. Often there is no one with him for a long while. I am here as much as possible.
Picture 4
I pet them, some of them it does so much good, they are so faint and lonesomeat parting at night sometimes I kiss them right & leftThe doctors tell me I supply the patients with a medicine which all their drugs & bottles & powders are helpless to yield.
Walt Whitman, letters of 1863
