One major theme from “Song of Myself” is death. Unlike the romantics, he does not believe in the concept of heaven or hell:


What do you think has become of the young and old men?

And what do you think has become of the women and children?


They are alive and well somewhere,

The smallest sprout shows there is really no death,


Whitman believes that people do not really disappear after death. The remains of the dead mix with the earth and grow in the form of vegetation:


I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love,

If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles.

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

"I lived in the first century of world wars" is the opening line of "Poem" by Muriel Rukeyser (1913-1980) an American poet and political activist. Her best-known poems are about social justice, equality and feminism. Her choice of words establishes her anti-war theme and her efforts to oppose war through her poetry:

"Slowly I would get to pen and paper,

Make my poems for others unseen and unborn.

In the day I would be reminded of those men and women,

Brave, setting up signals across vast distances,

Considering a nameless way of living, of almost not imagined values."

She felt her poetry, which would outlive her, would be a message to those "unseen and unborn" who could work to promote peace and justice.

"We would try by any means

To reach the limits of ourselves, to reach beyond ourselves,

To let go the means, to wake."

Here Rukeyser was passing on the baton, as it were, to the generations "beyond ourselves" in the hope that they would be more purposeful peacemakers.
