The human condition is defined by passage. Ceaseless and all-embracing‚ it is at the heart of Walt Whitman’s celebrated poem “Crossing Brooklyn Ferry.” As Whitman’s speaker observes the ferry cross from Manhattan to Brooklyn‚ he reflects upon the crowds of men and women making the familiar passage and‚ more expansively‚ all people making similar passages – past‚ present‚ and future.
