If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles,” Whitman talks about turning into grass and becoming part of nature. This image embodies that idea, literally depicting a human being in the process of becoming a gathering of flowers.

The close-up relates to the observation of a spear of grass, and also emphasizes the ideas of “roots” in nature; additionally, the color combination of light grey and green reminded me of the color combination of blue and green on the globe, which is why the photo is connected to the ideas of universality.

That imagery is analogous to how in this meme, the crying woman is powerless against the cat who is sitting at the dinner table of civilization and doing their own thing!]]> 2021-02-04 14:04:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kparker104/6j0lql652qr3vzdm/wish/1163769462 Vidur (21) adijasuja https://padlet.com/kparker104/6j0lql652qr3vzdm/wish/1163769508 I chose this image because I think it relates to the world slumbering.

This photo shows the power women can have by uniting together, showing that there truly “is nothing greater than the mother of men.”

The image feels peaceful but also powerful, which are the exact feelings I got from Whitman's writing. ]]> 2021-02-04 14:05:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kparker104/6j0lql652qr3vzdm/wish/1163772999 https://padlet.com/kparker104/6j0lql652qr3vzdm/wish/1163773448 Songs 1 and 21 describe Whitman as someone with immense power to write poetry and connect with nature. I connected this to the theme of divinity and power over nature.

Specifically, all these speak of water, and blending in with the ebb and flow of time.]]> 2021-02-04 14:05:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kparker104/6j0lql652qr3vzdm/wish/1163775347 Leora https://padlet.com/kparker104/6j0lql652qr3vzdm/wish/1163775585 To me, this image represents the “Earth of departed sunset” from Song 21, as within it I see the earth enveloping the sunset.  Throughout Song 21, elements are united, distinctions blurred (body and soul, woman and man, man and earth); the “far-swooping elbow’d earth” itself merges with and encompasses all - the trees, the sunset, the moon, the clouds - and ultimately the narrator (Whitman) merges with the earth through “unspeakable passionate love.”]]> 2021-02-04 14:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kparker104/6j0lql652qr3vzdm/wish/1163775585 https://padlet.com/kparker104/6j0lql652qr3vzdm/wish/1163775765 Poem 52: This image I think encapsulates the feeling that Whitman is trying to convey. I think he is at the end of his journey, waiting for his death. He also said, “If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles.”, as if trying to say that he will soon be buried.

“The spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me, he complains of my gab and my loitering.”  Song 52

This image is not only an actual picture of a hawk swooping down and attacking somebody, but also looks bizarre; just how the stanza sounds.
