Answer:
It demonstrates that the narrator is surrounded by nature.
Explanation:
Walt Whitman's "Crossing the Brooklyn Ferry" is a free verse poem written about the speaker's return trip on a ferry. He talks about his daily commute on the Brooklyn ferry, like the other commuters, and how they all share the same experience.
The given lines are from the very first stanza of the poem. The speaker repeats<em> "face-to-face" </em>when talking about nature. He sees the <em>"flood-tide below"</em> and the <em>"clouds"</em> high in the sky. This repetition demonstrates that he is surrounded by nature, amidst the throng of people around him.
