I know someone answered this poem with a great analysis of "A Noiseless Patient Spider" by Walt Whitman. I have been trying to delve deeper and find how literary terms contribute to the overall meaning of the poem
A Noiseless Patient Spider
A noiseless patient spider,
I mark’d where on a little promontory it stood isolated,
Mark’d how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,
It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.
And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul
If anyone sees any other ways I can use literary terms such as alliteration, assonance and how they contribute to the overall meaning of the poem, please answer!
