Walt Whitman - Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking / From Pent-Up Aching Rivers

As read by Alexander Scourby. I'm really only pushing "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking" here; "From Pent-Up Aching Rivers" is good as well but not my focus. Unfortunately I don't know how to restrict the clip to play only part, so both are given.

"Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking" is about as good an example as I can think of that shows what it means to begin to try to comprehend what it means that living things die. It's beautiful, sad, and uplifting simultaneously.
