Whitman had a boundless interest in the self- especially his self but to be fair it was an interest in all the selves in the world. Most of his poetry use the first person- using the pronoun I- - but that doesn't mean he is only speaking of himself. He believes his self- your self- -my self- - contain everything and everyone. He wants to bring down the boundaries between us and our selves and the boundaries between us and nature. Why not when you believe each person can carry the entire world within him.
