Crossing Brooklyn Ferry Walt Whitman Canvas Print

Crossing Brooklyn Ferry poem by Walt Whitman, a resident of the borough at the time when ferry boats (and even a rowboat in the picture) crowded the East River under the Brooklyn Bridge. Decorate a dorm room or shop window with this historic image of the masterpiece from the Roebling family. Keep this quote from the full length piece of poetry, or change the text for any quote by Whitman that you prefer. ❝Crowds of men and women attired in the usual costumes, how curious you are to me! / On the ferry-boats the hundreds and hundreds that cross, returning home, are more curious to me than you suppose, / And you that shall cross from shore to shore years hence are more to me, and more in my meditations, than you might suppose.❞ © dotpattern
