Walt Whitman

In this reflective poem by Walt Whitman, the speaker contemplates the intertwining of past experiences and future aspirations while engaging in an intimate dialogue with a listener. The exploration of self-contradiction reveals the complexities of human identity and connections. As the speaker invites honest confessions under the evening sky, they ponder the responsibilities of the day and the desire for companionship. Whitman's signature embrace of duality and the vastness of the human soul resonates throughout, culminating in a call for dialogue before time runs out.
