Dislink

she dislink'd herself

Let it be distinctly understood that, while I have drawn a parallel between Victor Hugo and Walt Whitman, as regards their radicalism in poetical reform, I should wish distinctly and emphatically to assert that the Whitmanesque reform in style —as illustrated in its best specimens,— is as far in advance of that of Hugo as his was in advance of Classicism. Whitman's method dislinks entirely from all past theories.
