Answer:
In this passage, Whitman is celebrating how the death and life of his self and his body are interconnected with the natural world.
Explanation:
When we die, the physical substance of the body—literally the molecules of the flesh—rot away to become once again a part of the natural world. But the same thing is true when we are living. We breathe in the molecules of the air, which become a part of us, even as they began as a part of other things. "Song of Myself" is all about these kinds of transcendent connections. Whitman is celebrating his "self" ("I celebrate myself, and sing myself"), but he's doing so by acknowledging the ways his self relies on the forces and energies and bodies of the natural and human worlds around him.
<span>“By
long suffering my nerves had been unstrung, until I trembled at the
sound of my own voice . . . .”
His nerves are unstrung, he trembled at the sound of his own voice, this could mean many things however it is likely he is Saying (or Thinking) things that scare him when snapping back to reality, like a man who was about to commit suicide but then remembers reality and he fears his own mind of what he was thinking.
“Another step before my fall, and the
world had seen me no more . . . .”
sounds cool, but is too vague.

<span>“[T]here was the choice of death with its direst physical agonies, or death with its most hideous moral horrors.” This is close to the first one, he sees how far he is to madness, but is still on the edge and not insane Yet. However it's not as clear as the first one I listed
</span>
<span>“I saw clearly the doom which had been prepared for me . . . .” displays nothing.</span>

Explanation:
The story "Ruthless" is about a man named Judson Webb. Judson and his beautiful wife plan on travelling away to another town for the winter.
He has a special safe where he stores his guns,fishing equipment and liquor. Last winter while he was away with his wife someone broke into his house and stole one of his drinks. He has the feeling that the person will attempt to do the same thing this year.
Judson decides to put in a rat poison into one of the open bottle of whiskey inorder to catch the thief. His wife tried to discourage him from doing this but he bluntly refused, she then went outside the house to wait for him to pack up his things.
As Judson was about leaving he remembered that he had forgotten to put his hunting boots into his bag. He went back to get them, as he was about reaching out to get the boots he stepped on an acorn which made him slide and hit his head on the table.
He fell to the ground and was unconscious for some minutes. By the time he woke up he found himself in Alec's arms. Alec is the caretaker who was incharge of watching their houses while they were away.
Alec found the bottle of whiskey on the table and decided to give Judson one glass to revive him. Judson was still not conscious enough to remember that the drink was poisonous. He drank up the glass of whiskey and died immediately.
