Whitman and Life


Whitman’s work is shown through poem 1-10, his pieces portray his positive attitude towards life. We can recall, “Always the procreant urge of the world” (Poem 2, line 37). His work appreciates the nature of life. How humans should see banal things as great. Not from a religious point of view but as an esthetical and artistic observation. His metaphors about life propose another view regarding stages in life. He questions people’s ordinary thoughts. Is birth a fortunate event? Is death the beginning of another life? Do people ever focus on casual things?
