Resumen del Recurso
Walt Whitman "Song of Myself" 1855/1881
Transmitting Experiences
Reference to Emerson's "transparent eyeball"
Symbolism
Image of the Woman
Emerson's transparent eyeball
Woman/Whitman is distant enough from situation to have perspective, whilst also being within the situation enough to have full knowledge.
29th bather is INVISIBLE
"An unseen hand also pass'd over their bodies"
Sexual tones of section
Trancendence
Moment of two becoming one but still being separate
Begins with woman's voice
"Twenty-eight years of womanly life and all so lonesome"
changes to Whitman's voice
"Where are you off to, lady? for I see you"
Homoeroticism
The beards of the young mean glisten'd with wet, it ran from their long/hair,/Little streams pass'd over their bodies."
Importance of enjambment - break between "long" and "hair"
Sexual tension/suspense
OR representation of all humans coming together in communion
Image of the Slave
Later turn to equality
"The bride unrumples her white dress.../The opium-eater reclines.../The prostitute draggles her shawl.../The President holding a cabinet"
Placing of characters together suggests a equal and democratic society.
Whitman talks for all of society/ Uses himself as a vessel for society
"I understand the large heart of heroes"
"I do not ask the wounded person how he feels, I myself become the/wounded person
Is this an outrageous & skimmed representation?
Establishing boundaries between self & the world
Brotherly attitude
Does not blatantly refer to wider issues
Anecdotal & Democratic
"The runaway slave"
"The" not "A" suggests no specificity
"I had him sit next me at table, my fire-lock lean'd in the corner"
Abrupt ending to the tale
Unresolved
Real or Made up??
Is fire arm protection against or for slave??
Unanswered questions
The Individual/The Self
"I celebrate myself, and sing myself"
Use of the name Walt Whitman but still professes to be a character of Whitman's poem.
Continuous use of "I"
Democracy
Individual is necessary for a democratic society to flourish
Heavily links to Thoreau's "Resistance to Civil Government"
"It divides the individual, separating the diabolical in him from the divine."
Grass image (section 6)
"Or I guess the grass is itself a child.../Sprouting alike in broad zines and narrow zones,/Growing among black folks as among white."
Nature grows anywhere
God is prominent in Nature - God as an image of democracy
Regeneration and life cycle in Nature
Whitman has to explain the symbol
inability to break things down to essential principles
Graves of Civil War
"I wish I could translate the hints about the dead young and old men?...and the offspring taken soon/out of their laps
Regeneration
Poem begins in the middle of Whitman's life - trying figure out for himself?
