Chanting the Square Deific Analization

In Chanting the Square Deific, Walt Whitman describes the square deficit and what the term means. Throughout the poem Whitman uses many biblical references and mythological references. He describes the four meanings in his poem. They include, Judgemental God, gentile forgiving God, Satan, and The Holy Spirit/soul. Walt Whitman is not very specific when he talks about something so you kind of have to infer to what he is referring to. Each of the stanza's have different meanings about religion and a different aspect of it. I found that Walt Whitman decided to write a poem about religion and the many different aspects of it. I thought that it told a lot about his personality. Whitman obviously cares about religion some to go in to that much detail about it in his poem. I thought the poem what very interesting and had a lot of meaning in it. I thought it was very interesting how he ended the poem saying, "Here the square finishing, the solid, I the most solid, Breathe my breath also through these songs" I think that this line has a lot of meaning. He finishes the square in the line and claims he the most solid. I do not think that he is referring to himself, Walt Whitman, when he says, "I the most solid." I think that Whitman says I as in Christ/God. The last lines obviously have a lot of meaning. If the I that Whitman refers to is God, then the last line, "Breathe my breath also through these songs" would mean follow me through these songs. It would mean, God wanting people to follow him through things like this. Overall, I thought the poem what very interesting and I thought it had a lot of religious meaning. Whitman made the poem extremely intriguing and even though I did not understand all of his hidden meanings throughout the poem, I found many of them and thought that they did a very good job adding to the overall effect of the poem.
