Splendor Of Their Naked Forms
281 wordsUpon viewing Thomas Eakins' "The Swimming Hole", I find that I am clearly able to see the words of Walt Whitman's Section 11 of Song Of Myself as if the language of the poem literally brushed the paint onto the canvas. This beautiful piece of art is exactly the visual picture one gets when reading the poem about the "woman" watching the beautiful, naked, young men frolic in and around the swimming hole.
