re:Thanks! I guess you mean the thesis in Architecture Poetry and the Art of Building by Daniel Hellmuth. Wonderful find!
I didn´t know that Goethe´s intense thirst of knowledge extended to the planning and building of gardens! And, at that time, the gardens of prominent people like him weren´t small.

re: "Quicksand Years".
"The change in placement of "Quicksand Years" suggests a shift in meaning. In Drum-Taps, Whitman was attempting to capture the spirit and actions of a particular time and place, Civil War America. In this context, the "politics, triumphs, battles" appear to refer particularly to that historical cataclysm, against which only one's own inner self is proof. The poem's repositioning in the "Whispers" cluster changes the referent, for as both Blodgett and Miller point out, this grouping is more deliberately spiritual in emphasis. Miller argues that in this cluster the spiritual is shown to be true reality and the apparently real, mere illusion. Within this context, "Quicksand years" takes on a more universal significance—the concept that when external supports fail, one's only surety is the soul." Interesting how the meaning of the poem changes and it is moved from a collection to the other once the war is over. A proof of the importance of the context in literature.
"Rivers of Birdsong" What a charming Haiku.
