Reread the four indented lines at the end of each stanza in O Captain My captain. How does each of these show a progression, from the fact of Lincoln’s death, the initial disbelief, to the final reluctant acceptance that the captain or president is dead. What are some of the words phrases and poetic devices that Whitman uses to show this progression
