hernesheir commented on the word the lambent lightnings
Walt Whitman used this phrase, but the English poet Henry Kirke White, who died (1806) before Whitman was born, used it first. Percy Byshe Shelley used the phrase lambent lightning-fire in his long work The Witch of Atlas, which was written in 1820 and published after his death, in 1824.
