Question

read the quotation from \song of myself\ i know i have the best of time and space, and was never measured and never will be measured. how does this line support the theme of the poem? it reflects whitmans exceedingly high opinion of himself. it shows whitmans love of life and of experience. it indicates whitmans perception that he is above others judgment. it reflects whitmans ideas about the unlimited capacity of the self.

Explanation:

In "Song of Myself," Whitman often explores themes of the self's vastness and potential. The line "I know I have the best of time and space, and was never measured and never will be measured" emphasizes that the self (the speaker) cannot be confined or quantified. It's not about a high - opinion (which could be seen as arrogance) but about the idea that the self has an infinite nature. Loving life and experience is a part of Whitman's work, but this line is more about the self's capacity. Saying he is above others' judgment is too narrow. The key is the "unlimited capacity" which aligns with Whitman's celebration of the expansive self in his poetry.

Answer:

It reflects Whitman's ideas about the unlimited capacity of the self.
