Analysis and comments on Darest Thou Now, O Soul. by Walt Whitman

Comment 1 of 1, added on March 9th, 2005 at 11:45 AM.

This poem is so beautiful to me because it captures the spiritual
experience inherent in all religions. The sense of unknowing about whatever
will happen when we die; the fear and the hope, both together but with the
hope preemminent.

Paula Button from United Kingdom
