Herman · Answer 1

The literary work of Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself" uses a poetic device - - Extended Metaphor. One of the primary symbols in the poem is the extended metaphor of a journey. He uses the idea of a journey because the poem took 30 years before it reached its final form. The speaker shares his soul's journey on the earth.
