Walt Whitman's 'Song of Myself' and 'Sleepers'

Abstract: A 6 page paper contrasting Walt Whitman's outlook on life and the universe in these two poems. It concludes that In 'Song of Myself,' Whitman seems to assume that the other living creatures he observes and celebrates are as awake and exultant as he is; by the time he writes 'Sleepers,' he has observed that they are not.
