In Walt Whitman's Poem 6, "Song of Myself" he there discusses the cyclical nature of life. The theme of his poem is;
Life has no real beginning or end; instead, it is a continuous circle.
When a young child asked Walt Whitman what the grass he had with him meant, instead of giving a straightforward answer, he made several speculations about the meaning of the grass.
For example, he reflected on how death brings forth new life. Grass sprang from compost.
Therefore, there was no real beginning or end. Life was cyclical in nature.
