You have to bear what I bear, and you have to bear everything I bear,
Because every atom trusts me just like it trusts you. Because every atom that belongs to me belongs to you.
I wander and invite my soul, I wander and invite my soul to walk with me.
My tongue, every atom in my blood, is formed by this soil and this air.
Parents born here Parents born here are the same as their parents, I was born here, my parents were born here, and their parents were born here.
I am 37 years old and in good health. At first, I am 37 years old and in good health.
I hope it will not stop until I die. I want to die.
I leaned, lost in the easy observation of Xia Cao's speaker. I leisurely overlook a summer blade of grass.
Put aside dogma and school, put aside dogma and school,
Retire temporarily and be satisfied with the status quo, but don't forget, let them retire temporarily and be satisfied with the status quo, but don't forget.
I have good or evil in my heart. I am allowed to speak at any risk. I have good and evil in my heart. I will tell them anyway.
Nature is endless and primitive energy. The primitive vitality of nature is not hindered in any way.
Spirit and Religion in Whitman's Song of Me Although he learned a lot from Christianity, his understanding of religion is far more complicated than the mixture of one or two beliefs. Whitman seems to draw inspiration from many sources of belief and take himself as the center to form his own religion.
Whitman brings philosophical significance to the simplest objects and behaviors, reminding Americans that every sight, hearing, taste and smell is of spiritual importance to fully awake and healthy people. In the first chapter, he said, "I wander and invite my soul," creating a dualism between matter and spirit. However, in the rest of the poem, he continues this pattern. He constantly uses images of body and spirit to help us better understand his true understanding of spirituality.
There are many "popular" themes that writers often use. Love, religion and war are some favorites. Two other such themes that we usually read are nature and death. The two can be discussed separately or related to each other. Walt whitman, who loves nature, explored these themes in Song of Me in Leaves of Grass. "Song of self" is a praise to life and God. Whitman loves all imaginations about nature. He loves humans, animals and himself. In this long poem, Whitman mentioned "red" people (Indians), "black people", butchers, women, poor people and rich people. He believes that all people are good to some extent and all people are equal.
Walt whitman's Song of Me is really a long poem from the most basic description level. Whitman is obviously a poet who has a lot to say, or at least many different expressions. He winds from micro to macro, from atoms to the whole earth.
This poem is rich in content, which fully shows the poet's philosophy of life and religious views. "Self" is the central image of this poem. The background of My Song is the whole United States. The "self" praised by the whole poem is not only a poet, but also a bigger poet, a giant image with American national characteristics and democratic ideals, and a pioneer image of the new world. From this poem, we can also see the influence of transcendentalism represented by Emerson on the poet.
As soon as Whitman's Song of Me came out, it caused a wide and lasting debate in American literary circles. History has proved that My Song is not a so-called mysterious prophecy poem, but a great realistic poem reflecting the life of the American era. Self shows multiple artistic images and enthusiastically praises American democracy and the American people. The theme of democracy and nationality runs through the whole poem. The poem has a magnificent structure, a vast historical picture and a panoramic view of American natural scenery.
Free verse: a common style in modern poetry. There are lines of different lengths in the same poem, which do not pay attention to rhyme and meter, but only pay attention to the images and emotions expressed in the poem. Walt whitman's Leaves of Grass adopted this format.
Rereading his most famous poem Leaves of Grass once again touched the American poet's passion, magnificent style, diverse themes, rich imagination and novel ideas a century and a half ago. I remember when I read Leaves of Grass in my early years, I was attracted by his generous romantic mood and poetic meaning of long sentences, and I couldn't help feeling that Guo Moruo's poems such as Goddess were compared with them. Whitman is a poet worthy of the name, and Guo's poems can only be regarded as the harvest after spraying blood. It is also associated with Mayakovski's "Treading Poems", which was once a hit. After all, it is the product of different worlds. Ma's poems are described by the current vocabulary, much like a "red hippie" screaming at the top of his lungs, which is particularly weak and bluffing in front of Whitman's unrestrained, natural, popular and vivid singing.
Whitman's poetic style has a great influence on the development of American poetry and the formation of American modernist literature. Modern American poetry can be divided into two categories. One is the classical school represented by Eliot, who advocates metaphysical poetry and believes that the most fundamental task of a writer is to establish a dialogue with the human past. The other category, which is also the main category, is the new poetry school represented by Whitman. These poets aim to inspire people to feel that the world is brand-new and blank. Everything has never been touched or described. We need to describe and create. This spirit of abandoning all traditions and bravely opening up a new world was first advocated by Whitman over 100 years ago.
