What did Walt Whitman mean by the following quotes in Song of Myself :
1. I do not ask the wounded person how he feels,/ I myself become the wounded person,/ My hurts turn livid upon me as I lean on a cane and observe
2. I am the mash’d fireman with breast-bone broken,/ Tumbling walls buried me in their debris,/ Heat and smoke I inspired, I heard the yelling shouts of my comrades”
3. I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love,/ If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles
4. I stand alone in silence, taking in my own reflection with thoughtful amusement
5. I assess my life with a straightforward attitude, knowing the truth needs no embellishment.
