ME IMPERTURBE, by WALT WHITMAN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Me imperturbe, standing at ease in nature,
Last Line: Rebuffs, as the trees and animals do.
First Line: Me imperturbe, standing at ease in nature,
Last Line: Rebuffs, as the trees and animals do.
Me imperturbe, standing at ease in Nature,
Master of all or mistress of all, aplomb in the midst of
irrational things,
Imbued as they, passive, receptive, silent as they,
Finding my occupation, poverty, notoriety, foibles, crimes,
less important than I thought,
Me toward the Mexican sea, or in the Mannahatta or the
Tennessee, or far north or inland,
A river man, or a man of the woods or of any farm-life of
these States or of the coast, or the lakes or Kanada,
Me wherever my life is lived, O to be self-balanced for contingencies,
To confront night, storms, hunger, ridicule, accidents,
rebuffs, as the trees and animals do.
