In my opinion, the phrases that contribute to the carpe diem perspective are: A “let us sport us while we may” and <span>C “at once our time devour”. Carpe diem means "Seize the day". As a philosophy, it argues that we should make the most of this moment, right here, right now, as we can't do much about the future. Death and misery are going to happen anyway, so why trouble ourselves with them now? This is exactly what the A phrase says, whereas the C phrase says something similar: let's enjoy as much as we can.</span>

The era of romanticism examines the dark side of human nature and deals with the unconscious. It relates to the idea that everything is individual. During the 1860’s in the U. S. society is confused because everything is changing; Civil War, emancipation of slavery, etc. The system as people know it is being reworked and we see people who were once oppressed, now experiencing freedoms never thought possible. Whitman creates imagery in his poetry, and his poetry creates an idealized image of America, an America made up of the working people. His poetry, imagery, and idealism create a world larger than life...a world the reader can actually see and feel through his poetry.
