In the story 'The River' by Mark Twain, he uses an extended metaphor, comparing the Mississippi river to books, art, and poetry. In ‘reading the river’ the pilot’s rigorous study of the river is referred to, Twain regard this as reading a book.
“The face of the water in time became a wonderful book- a book that was a dead language to the uneducated passenger but which told its mind to me without reserve, delivering its most cherished secrets as clearly as if it uttered them with a voice.”
In the above line, Twain compares water to the book. The sight of the pilot is compared to that of passenger’s is another extended metaphor used. He compares it with “italicized passages”, “shouting exclamation points” and the “pretty pictures". To the pilot’s eye, such features of the river becomes the language of water. However, how the river is being read as a book depends upon one’s experience who is reading, as it can have different meanings.
Answer:
Walt Whitman.
Explanation:
These lines have been taken from Walt Whitman's famous poem 'Song of Myself' that was included in his poetry collection 'Leaves of Grass'. As these lines suggest, the poem is about the celebration of individual self as reflected by the words 'I celebrate myself' and unanimity of human soul when he says 'every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you'. The poet is celebrating the democracy, identification of his self that he associates to the universal self ('what i assume you shall assume'). Thus, these are the words by Walt Whitman who takes a dig to embrace the individuality(the title 'song of myself' itself suggests) and its every sate along with the glorification of democracy by associating his individual self in a universal context.
