Appreciation of Song of Myself:
Song of? Myself, selected from Leaves of Grass, is a collection of romantic poems by Whitman, an American writer in the 19th century. It developed from 12 poems in the first edition in 1855 to 41 poems in the last edition in 1891-1892, which recorded the poet's life-long thought and exploration, and also reflected the face of his times and country. The collection of poems got its name from one of the poems: Where there is soil, where there is water, there is grass.
The poems in the anthology are like grass growing all over America, full of vigor and fragrance. They are world-famous masterpieces and create a new era of American national poetry. The author has made bold innovations in the form of poetry, creating a "free-body" poetic form, breaking the traditional poetic rhythm, and taking punctuation as the basis of rhythm. The rhythm is free and unrestrained, and Wang Yang is unrestrained and comfortable, with a torrent of momentum and all-encompassing capacity.

I? celebrate? Self, and sing self,
I praise myself and sing myself,
and what I assume you shall assume,
you will also assume what I undertake,
for every atom believing to me as good beliefs to you.
Because every atom that belongs to me also belongs to you.
I love and invite my soul,
I took a stroll and invited my soul,
I lean and love at my ease observing a speech of summer grass.
I leaned over and leisurely observed a summer blade of grass.
my tongue, every atom of my blood, form'd from this soil, this air,
My tongue, every atom of my blood, is formed in this soil and this air.
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same,
were born here by their parents, and so were their parents,
I, Now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
I, now 37 years old, have been in perfect health since I was born.
I hope to die like this forever.
Creeds and schools in abeyance,
Regardless of creeds and schools for the time being,
Retiring back a while satisfied at what they are, but never forgotten,
and take a step back, knowing that their current situation is enough, but they are by no means forgotten.
iharbor for good or bad, I permit to speak at every hazard,
No matter what I do from good to evil, I am allowed to express my opinions at will.
Nature without check with original energy.
Follow nature and keep original vitality.
