Another Favorite Walt Whitman Favorite of Mine

A Noiseless, Patient Spider
This poem begins by talking about a spider being very patient. It talks about how he is exploring his vacant, vast surrounding. Then, in the next stanza, it explains in "different" way how the human soul is like a spider. It said, "Till the gossamer thread you fling, catch somewhere, O my soul.
I like this poem because it is very interesting to me. I really like the analogy made between the spider and the soul. I've always liked poems or stories that relate to completely different things, and this one is no exception.
