Getting intimidate with nature

Instead he believes he has already reached heaven on ėarth and that hell who simply be a different experience. He then goes on to describe his adoration for nature, the seas and the earth which he loves so much. This is followed by his admiration for science, which shows that Whitman is not concerned so religion, and is so deeply appreciative of the natural world. This fits in with the previous cantos because nature is a constantly occurring theme in in song of myself. When Whitman describes nature he does so In a controversially sexual matter, and according to a secondary source he is describing having sex with the earth, and encourages the poeple of the earth to be more sexually openable me less modest.
