• Hindus, Milton. "Notes Toward the Definition of a Typical Poetic Line in Whitman." Walt Whitman Review 9 (December 1963), 75-81. [If Whitman is to survive as a serious writer rather than as a religious, social, or ideological spokesman for a cult following, he must be viewed as a poet who took great pains with his choice and arrangement of words. Scansion of the 208 lines in "Lilacs" reveals a Whitman of great artistry, for the poem is dominated by a three-beat measure, a rhythmical pattern which subtly reinforces the poem's imagery and thematic content.]
• Cory, Robert E. "The Prosody of Walt Whitman." North Dakota Quarterly 28 (Summer 1960), 74-79. [Conventional methods of scansion are of little value in analyzing Whitman's system of rhythm. By utilizing a method of "segment scansion," one discovers that Whitman's line is "intended to guide any interpretive reader in timing the flow of rhetorical phrasings of the language."]
