Appreciation of Whitman's "I keep exploring"

Whitman, as a poet who creates a free body, is free and unrestrained in his works. It has a momentum of 1000 miles and the ability to accommodate everything. This poem "I keep exploring" is a poem about self-analysis and understanding the meaning of life and the world. Reading this kind of poem needs to feel Whitman's purest love for life.

The title "I keep exploring" has an inner spirit of "the road is long, and I will go up and down" when people in China read it. According to the guidance of poetry content, poets used to look for it from history as well as from fables, stories and books. But the meaning of life is not in those places. The true meaning of life is to be discovered by yourself in reality, just as the poet wrote in my own song:

I won't accept second-hand and third-hand things, and I won't borrow things from the dead.

Observe with your eyes, or draw nutrition from ghosts in books,

You won't see through my eyes, you won't accept things through me,

You will listen to opinions from all sides and filter everything yourself.

The second nature of poetry is to embody and summarize the meaning of life, which is ubiquitous from life to inter-ethnic communication. Cognition of individual value is also a praise of collective personality. The masses are the theme of all themes. ...

I've been exploring

Author: Whitman

I've been exploring the meaning of that life,

I'm looking for inspiration from that history for myself,

I have pursued beautiful songs and finally found you today;

You are not among those fables, stories and ancient books.

I am skeptical about them. )

In mythology, how many miracles can there be!

You, right in front of my eyes, in this real world,

In the word democracy, how many years have people been living with you?

You, in the ordinary life of ordinary people,

From different languages and customs to literature and art,

From political beliefs to mechanical boats, you are everywhere.

From continuous invention to inter-ethnic communication;

Everything is for the living,

The masses are the theme of all themes.
