Read the excerpt from Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself."
These are really the thoughts of all men in all ages and lands, they are not original with me, If they are
not yours as much as mine they are nothing, or next to nothing, If they are not the riddle and the untying
of the riddle they are nothing, If they are not just as close as they are distant they are nothing. This is the
grass that grows wherever the land is and the water is, This is the common air that bathes the globe.
Which natural images does Whitman use to communicate the idea that his thoughts belong to everyone?
He refers to the grass that is everywhere and the air that everyone breathes.
He refers to the money that everyone uses and the streets that everyone walks.
He refers to the sky that appears the same no matter where you are.
He refers to the vast landscape that anyone can see and enjoy.
