Answer:
The part of “My Song” that stands out to me, in particular, is the sixth episode in which Whitman discusses grass. From the article "Grass Leaves," it is clear that grass has some significance for Whitman. At this point, Whitman tries to catch the “What is grass?” the appearance of a child's question. Whitman continues to try to answer this question even though he has made it clear that he is not sure of the answer. At the same time, I find it interesting that Whitman devoted a whole section to “My Song” to answer the child's question, especially the general one.
How Whitman chose to answer that question is a mystery. He makes a lot of speculation about whether grass can be or not. Whitman's speculation varies greatly from "the flag of my state" to "the handkerchief of the Lord" to "the uniform hieroglyphic text." Interestingly, Whitman incorporates all speculations back to the human condition at least in a vague way. The second part of section six focuses on grass as “uncut grass'” Whitman thinks of dead people growing grass. Whitman continues the metaphor of seeing grass as reincarnation of the dead in a state of life cycle. He makes this a message of hope that death is actually “better” than life.
Whitman's approach to the subject will not go unnoticed and re-heard sounds almost scientifically sound. Yet Whitman still has the whole poem "Everything goes on and on, nothing falls" but I can't help but wonder what Whitman knew about the regeneration of scientific energy. This passage seems to be religious in many ways with a focus on death and on the Lord. Although, he seems to be propagating Hinduism or Buddhism instead of the Western religions. My mind is full of captions from just one episode of “My Song” which is a poem full of many thought-provoking sections. There are probably little grass cliffs in the garden like the tangents of Whitman's poems.
