Song of Myself by Walt Whitman
Guest
Especially back then. The Victorian era was all about social repression, especially around those topics. But Whitman, he's like, nope, I'm going there. He flat out says, I am not the poet of goodness only. I do not decline to be the poet of wickedness also. He's acknowledging the duality within us all, the light and the shadow, and he refuses to sugarcoat it.
