Answer:

Explanation:

These two sonnets may indeed be addressed to the "dark lady" of his sonnet, and yes she seems to be his lover, However, 130 is much more complimentary and focuses on the mistress' beauty. The use of the similes to compare her various physical features to some natural occurrences helps us to understand how rare he thinks their love is because she is so beautiful. On the other hand, 138 is somewhat negative and uses the word "lie" to do what shakespeare does best, play on words (i.e the use of pun). She lies to him and he knows it, but he listens anyway and ultimately they "lie" together.

Kryger [21]

The idea of identity is the pivotal theme of the poem “Song of Myself.” Walt Whitman explores the idea of self and his relationship with other human beings, as well as nature and the universe. He is proud of himself and of his nation’s people. According to him, a true American is fair and believes in democracy. A true American is not prejudiced and is open to knowing people from all walks of life and all kinds of experiences. Whitman celebrates himself and America in his poem. He also expresses his love for nature and the universe. A true American, according to Whitman, believes that truth exists everywhere. Whitman is not afraid of death and believes that life does not come to a stop even after death. Instead, the soul goes back to nature, and the remains of the dead grow in the form of vegetation.
