  • "<em>The sniff of green leaves and dry leaves, and of the shore and dark-color’d sea-rocks, and of hay in the barn,/ The sound of the belch’d words of my voice loos’d to the eddies of the wind"</em>

In this quote, Whitman reflects Romantic thinking as he talks about the nature that surrounds him. Like most Romantic thinkers, Whitman finds a chance to reflect when surrounded by nature. Moreover, he finds a type of wisdom and inspiration in natural settings, and sees them as intrinsically connected to him.

  • <em>"You shall possess the good of the earth and sun, (there are millions of suns left,)/ You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books"</em>

In these lines, Whitman refers to the "good of the earth and sun," to "the eyes of the dead," and "the spectres in books." All of these statements refers to cultural and traditional sources of inspiration and knowledge. A common trait among the Romantics was an interest in rediscovering such sources of knowledge.

  • <em>"I celebrate myself, and sing myself,/ And what I assume you shall assume,/ For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you."</em>

A characteristic of Romantic literature is a focus on the author's inner world, inner feelings and personal experiences. In this poem, we see that Whitman mostly focuses on the feelings that exist within himself, and that make him reflect on his place in the world.

Which is the BEST interpretation of the speaker's comparison of humans and trees?
jasenka [17]

Answer: The trees represented the manifestation of the sacred, the expression of the cosmic creative powers and the unity of universal life.

Explanation:

From the beginning of his stay on planet earth, the man was tied to trees. In ancient times, this connection was even more intense. The wood is that it has been providing heat to man for a long time because other raw materials were unknown. The man also consumed the fruits from the trees and thus fed. There were bees in the trees that gave wax and honey; it also provided foodstuffs, not just grains, but primarily cones that were ground into flour and baked as bread.

Also used was resin processed into the glue, tar, incense-like incense and spices. The man lived in a close symbiosis with the trees for a long time and believed that he was thanking for his survival. In it, moreover, he saw the origin of the world. Today, forests represent the lungs of our planet. This is why it is essential to work on protecting trees and forests. Trees also protect people from landslides. Man has always lived in symbiosis with the tree, life on earth is highly dependent on the tree, and therefore people need to pay more attention to this natural treasure.
