In this seminal poem from 'Leaves of Grass' Walt Whitman draws the metaphor of Grass as a transcendental symbol.

Explanation:

1. The significance of Grass is that it is not too different from anything and can thus represent life.

2. The figures of speech mimic the innocence of a child and has really long lines with no breaks conveying the theme of the text.

3. The repetition of the text is also coming from the comparison of the child with the grass and how they are mingled into one another in the authors' imagination.

4. The lines between 29 to 32 become didactic and convey his spiritual feeling of unity and oneness.

These ideas relate to each other in a larger pantheon of ideas of Transcendentalism.

emilia exits.

i will in cassio’s lodging lose this napkin

and let him find it. trifles light as air

are to the jealous confirmations strong

as proofs of holy writ. this may do something.

335the moor already changes with my poison.

dangerous conceits are in their natures poisons

which at the first are scarce found to distaste,

but with a little act upon the blood

burn like the mines of sulfur.

i’ll leave this handkerchief at cassio’s house and let him find it.to a jealous man, a meaningless little thing like this looks like absolute proof. this handkerchief may be useful to me. the moor’s mind has already become infected with my poisonous suggestions. ideas can be like poisons. at first they hardly even taste bad, but once they get into your blood they start burning like hot lava.

which thou owedst yesterday.
