Whitney writes: "The poet is discovering what Neihardt called 'cosmic consciousness' in which the individual fuses his soul with the transcendent All, with the Oversoul of Emerson and Whitman," p.51. It was Richard M. Bucke, the Canadian biographer of Walt Whitman, who wrote the book Cosmic Consciousness. To Bucke, Whitman was one of the few men who reached cosmic consciousness.
Whitney notes "Hugh ... has his humanity; and his sympathies are awakened by young Jamie, who is both son and innocent lover for the old man. Although The Song of Hugh Glass contains no overt homosexuality, the relationship between Jamie and Hugh has many parallels in classic American literature. In the wilderness, the sidekick replaces the hero's wife and offers another kind of love." p.110-111.

"By the trails to the Past, on the Plains of No Care,
Stood Shorty's saloon, but now it's not there,
For Shorty moved camp and crossed the Divide
In the years long dim, and naught else beside
A deep brand on Memory brings back the old place, -
Its drinks and its games, and many a face
Peers out from the mists of days that are fled,
When Shorty stood back of his bar, there, and said,
"What's yours, Pard?"

"They danced and they drank, and they sang that old song,
"I'm just a poor cow-boy, and know I've done wrong,"
While the click of the chips in the games that were played,
And the sob in the music the violin made
Rang out through the smoke that clouded the room,
For Joy held the top-hand and drink drowned all gloom
The future might hold for him who made gay, -
And life filled with sunbeams, when Shorty would say
"What's yours, Pard?"
