Question
select the correct text in the passage.
which lines in this excerpt from \song of myself\ by walt whitman indicate that all human beings are equal in the poets eyes?
i am the poet of the woman the same as the man,
and i say it is as great to be a woman as to be a man,
and i say there is nothing greater than the mother of men.
i chant the chant of dilation or pride,
we have had ducking and deprecating enough,
i show that size is only development.
have you outstript the rest? are you the president?
it is a trifle, they will more than arrive there every one, and still pass on.
These lines explicitly state the poet's view of equality between genders, and that societal status (like being President) does not make someone inherently superior, as all people will reach and surpass such positions, emphasizing universal equality.
