Answer 2

In the excerpt Walt Whitman suggests that human beings continue to exist after death through the people they know because the remains of the dead are absorbed into the soil and continue to nourish life.

Step-by-step explanation:

Walt Whitman's poem "Song of Myself" is a celebration of the self and how an individual becomes one with nature. The poet delves into the idea of discovering one's self, identification of one's self with that of others, and the relationship with the universe and nature.

In the given lines of poetry taken from the 6th part of the poem, the poet talks of what happens to life after one dies. He questions "What has become of the young and old men? / And what has become of the women and children?" And he responds, "All goes onward and outward, nothing collapses, / And to die is different from what anyone supposed, and luckier."

This shows that Whitman believes human beings do not die or vanish completely. Rather, they continue to exist after death through the people they know, and that the remains of the dead are absorbed into the soil and continue to nourish life.
