    “the absolute flight and rest
    The universal blue
    And local green suggest.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “In his comprehensive delight in all experience Dickens resembles Walt Whitman, but he was innocent of that nebulous transcendentalism that blurred Whitman’s universe into vast misty panoramas and left him, for all his huge democratic vistas, unable to tell a story or paint a single concrete human being.”
