The poem “Song of Myself ” by Walt Whitman is the untranslatable self, because it has been claiming an infinitely complex self that has many definitions, but no single definitive meaning. In other word his voice is untranslatable.

Although the poem identifies “Myself” clearly as Whitman, the specification of the speaker is also mystic. Whitman uses broad variety of poetic devices. This poem is part of vision for a society where all are equal, men, women, black and white. Some of the sections contain direct explanations of Whitman thought. For example, he says “For every atom belonging to me as a good belongs to you.” Here, he is telling us that we are equal. He also talks about how good is life. “Has anyone supposed it lucky to be born?” Here, he is trying to tell us it is wonderful to be a human being and the ability to become one with the self and with nature. Whitman shows that the union of self and the body enable for an openly incomparable experience in which one have total achievement.
