	Song of Myself
		I dote on myself, there is that lot of me and all so luscious, Each moment and whatever happens thrills me with joy, I cannot tell how my ankles bend, nor whence the cause of my faintest wish, Nor the cause of the friendship I emit, nor the cause of the friendship I take again.
		Myself moving forward then and now and forever, Gathering and showing more always and with velocity, Infinite and omnigenous, and the like of these among them, Not too exclusive toward the reachers of my remembrancers, Picking out here one that I love, and now go with him on brotherly terms.
		Embody all presences outlaw'd or suffering, See myself in prison shaped like another man, And feel the dull unintermitted pain, For me the keepers of convicts shoulder their carbines and keep watch, It is I let out in the morning and barr'd at night.

	SparkNotes: Whitman's Poetry: "Song of Myself"
		"Song of Myself" is a sprawling combination of biography, sermon, and poetic meditation.
		"Song of Myself" is composed more of vignettes than lists: Whitman uses small, precisely drawn scenes to do his work here.
		While "Song of Myself" is crammed with significant detail, there are three key episodes that must be examined.

	[Song of Myself] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		I celebrate myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
		Welcome is every organ and attribute of me, and of any man hearty and clean, Not an inch nor a particle of an inch is vile, and none shall be less familiar than the rest.
		The young men float on their backs, their white bellies bulge to the sun, they do not ask who seizes fast to them, They do not know who puffs and declines with pendant and bending arch, They do not think whom they souse with spray.

		The first appearance of "Song of Myself" was in the first edition of Leaves of Grass, published in 1855, where it lacked its current title.
		Although Whitman was celebrated by many of his fellow writers as the greatest poet of his time, his work was often shocking to the tastes of nineteenth-century America, particularly in its open discussion of sexuality and in its acknowledgment of homosexual desire.

		The sharp-hoof’d moose of the north, the cat on the house-sill, the chickadee, the prairie-dog, The litter of the grunting sow as they tug at her teats, The brood of the turkey-hen and she with her half-spread wings, I see in them and myself the same old law.
		I am a free companion, I bivouac by invading watchfires, I turn the bridgroom out of bed and stay with the bride myself, I tighten her all night to my thighs and lips.
		I am the mash’d fireman with breast-bone broken, Tumbling walls buried me in their debris, Heat and smoke I inspired, I heard the yelling shouts of my comrades, I heard the distant click of their picks and shovels, They have clear’d the beams away, they tenderly lift me forth.

	Song of Myself
		The principle suggested by the young woman's mass seduction provokes the poet's revelation, in stanza 15, that, like the young woman, he too is able to reach out to all persons, to "seduce"
		And from night's seduction of the earth the poet learns to resign himself to the sea: "You sea I resign myself to you" (Pf.
		This culminating identification unites the poet with all that can be known by man. The poet unites, in effect, with the subject of his song.

		Those who failed to oppose me, who readily agreed with me, accepted all my views, and yielded easily to my opinions, were those who did me the most injury, and were my worst enemies, because, by surrendering to me so easily, they encouraged me to go too far...
