From On Whitman, by C. K. WilliamsAT ANY RATE
"At any rate, whatever the debt Whitman directly may have owed to Emerson, in his preface to the first Leaves of Grass, he takes Emerson's 'poet' and enlarges him to what he calls 'the Greatest Poet,' offering a program similar to Emerson's, though on a scale to make Emerson's seem timid."
