A Walt Whitman Poem for Christmas Day
My father, the departed and much-missed poet Dr Leonard Wolf, believed that once you write something, it no longer belongs to you.

He was a Blakean, after all, and saw “Heaven in a Wild Flower.” He made literary use of the Talmud’s teaching: that if you save even one life, you have saved a world.
