Q. I am desperately needing a copy of this poem/story and I have been looking for two hours on the net with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Have a most blessed day/night!

A. Hey Fairmaiden, This site usually is pretty good. They have Carl and a bunch of his work but not this one. There are libraries where you can find a book of his poems too. Sorry, could not find.

Is Carl Sandburg's Abraham Lincoln any good?
Q. I guess before I embark on the epic journey of reading the first volume, I will ask if it is any good first. Also, what was its significance as a written work?
Asked by jimmytyler - Sat Jan 19 07:44:59 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It's an awesome book. Don't take it lightly, the layers of information are incredible. Its significance is that it's probably the most definitive work on a most enigmatic president. It went into issues and facts that were never explored by anyone in the past; and Sandberg did so with a depth of detail that made it incredibly valuable in understanding Lincoln's motives, ethics and moral fiber.

carl sandburg's poetry?
Q. I am doing an analysis on Carl Sandburg's poem "Buttons" but don not know very much background information about him. Do you know what is significant about the year it was written 1905, or what the buttons symbolize?
Asked by Jenny C - Wed Oct 10 14:54:45 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Buttons i have been watching the war map slammed up for advertising in front of the newspaper office. Buttons red and yellow buttons blue and black buttons are shoved back and forth across the map. A laughing young man, sunny with freckles, Climbs a ladder, yells a joke to somebody in the crowd, And then fixes a yellow button one inch west And follows the yellow button with a black button one inch west. (Ten thousand men and boys twist on their bodies in a red soak along a river edge, Gasping of wounds, calling for water, some rattling death in their throats.) Who would guess what it cost to move two buttons one inch on the war map here in front of the newspaper office where the freckle-faced young man is laughing to us? … [cont.]

  • Yesterday is done. Tomorrow never comes. Today is here. If you don't know what to do, sit still and listen. You may hear something. Nobody knows. We may pull apart the petals of a rose or make chemical analysis of its perfume, but the mystic beauty of its form and odor is still a secret, locked in to where we have no keys.

  • Back of every mistaken venture and defeat is the laughter of wisdom, if you listen. Every blunder behind us is giving a cheer for us, and only for those who were willing to fail are the dangers and splendors of life. To be a good loser is to learn how to win. I was sure there are ten men in me and I do not know or understand one of them. I could safely declare, I am an idealist. A Parisian cynic says "I believe in nothing. I am looking for clues." My statement would be : I believe in everything — I am only looking for proofs.
