Fiction correct me if i’m wrong
In Walt Whitman’s poem “Song of Myself,” lines 7-16 introduce several
important themes that will reoccur frequently. For instance, when
Whitman references the many past generations of family members that led
to his birth (7), he illustrates the countless and myriad generations of
humanity that are distilled down in the present generation. Furthermore, when Whitman references “creeds and schools in abeyance” (10), he
touches on the many differing beliefs and ideas at work in the world,
which will again be an important addition to his discussion of
multiplicity throughout the poem. Finally, Whitman’s description of
smelling many perfumes (14-16) is a precursor to his later mission to
inhale and swallow as many different experiences as possible. (you can add more this is just some stuff I found)
That is for lines 7-16 that I found. I dont know about verse 52

Your answer would be "D" because it explained everything is beautiful but at the end it said, "But within the dense shadows, all seemed dark and gloomy as the grave." Hope this helps!
