Read the excerpt from Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself."
These are really the thoughts of all men in all ages and lands, they are not original with me, If they are
not yours as much as mine they are nothing, or next to nothing, If they are not the riddle and the untying
of the riddle they are nothing, If they are not just as close as they are distant they are nothing. This is the
grass that grows wherever the land is and the water is, This is the common air that bathes the globe.
Which natural images does Whitman use to communicate the idea that his thoughts belong to everyone?
He refers to the grass that is everywhere and the air that everyone breathes.
He refers to the money that everyone uses and the streets that everyone walks.
He refers to the sky that appears the same no matter where you are.
He refers to the vast landscape that anyone can see and enjoy.

He refers to the grass that is everywhere and the air that everyone breathes.

Explanation:

Walt Whitman believed in the universality of human experience coming from a transcendental background into poetry, In this famous poem from Leaves of  Grass, he argues that his ideas are as universal as grass in that it can grow wherever nurture is found.

His philosophy is also as encompassing as air meaning that it is not his own, but of all the people in the world, as they all can breathe in the same air.

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
