TO SOAR IN FREEDOM AND IN FULNESS OF POWER, by WALT WHITMAN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I have not so much emulated the birds that musically sing Last Line: Power, joy, volition. Subject(s): Freedom; Liberty | |||
I have not so much emulated the birds that musically sing, I have abandon'd myself to flights, broad circles. The hawk, the seagull, have far more possess'd me than the canary or mocking-bird, I have not felt to warble and trill, however sweetly, I have felt to soar in freedom and in the fullness of power, joy, volition. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOVE THE WILD SWAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS AFTER TENNYSON by AMBROSE BIERCE QUARTET IN F MAJOR by WILLIAM MEREDITH CROSS THAT LINE by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE EMANCIPATION by ELIZABETH ALEXANDER A BROADWAY PAGEANT by WALT WHITMAN |
