(Std.12-State Board) 2.1 SONG OF THE OPEN ROAD- ICE BREAKERS

August 24, 2020

Song of the Open Road is the most beautiful poem taken from Walt Whitman’s famous poetic collection Leaves of Grass.

Song of the Open Road is a beautiful blend of self-awareness, free will and tenderness of heart. It gives us poet’s realization that along the journey of life one will face a test of wisdom which is not tested in any school or university. A road is something everyone uses, whether rich or poor and forces all levels of people to associate with one another. The road signifies ‘mobility’. One can take the road as a point to start over towards something new. Whitman talks about the people and places. He argues against staying in one place for too long, although the hospitality may be true.
