In West's poetry frequently the rose, the nightingale or the skylark and so on expresses as the symbol one kind of connotation, but Whitman actually does not have the interest utilization already used to overflow the traditional image or the symbol, perhaps received at that time started the leaf image inspiration which accepted for the reader, he has selected the ordinary blue leaves of grass only, with was rich in the unique individuality voluminous verse, entrusted with its multiple meaning, transmitted him ordinary, the equal idea, thus has created a new image, was glad to the image which for a various countries generation of reader accepted.if thinks deeply about from other angle, we may discover his poetry and he borrows the symbolic form is tallies very much. The ordinary grass is also to the Whitman lowly family background one kind of portrayal. He is diligent diligently, in the young people time, through reads the Scotland writer of fiction Walter Si Gete historical novel, the British fantasy socialist Robert Irving, American female society reformer Francis Wright, American political commentator bourgeoisie nationality person Tomas Paine et al. politics to discuss, very early widened the political field of vision, for him when afterward the publication edited as well as publishes a newspaper has built the foundation. Is arranging newspaper period, he has written the massive related social reform political comment article and the literature comments, becomes the radical democratic person. In the semblance, he as if is a sloven uneducated person, often sends out! Boorish shouting! , in fact, he already was an aware social politics participant, the life positive intervenor. Moreover, the Civil War period which erupts in 1861, he in three years, to the hospital, the military compound and the battlefield has carried on 600 interview, contacted eight to 100,000 patients. It is not difficult to see, his these selfless contributions and he to the leaves of grass the understanding is consistent. The leaves of grass is tiny, ordinary, has its unique behavior way. Therefore, the choice grass is not only the poet personal experience portrayal, also has displayed him the attention which lives to the average person. However, his this table Italy way has encountered the conservative writer's unkind taunt, even links Emerson also difficultly to run away this to plunder. For example, in 1860 "Boston Post" the anonymous article "the Beese Wittenberg Is more confusing": “the grass is God to maintain his lives' health to bestow their educational toy, its name should not use, in these poisonous plants (selfish, arrogant as well as are spreading ignominiously carnal desire which is in power) becomes stale dirtily on leaf! . . . Regarding this, we can obtain the most generous conclusion is: Whitman "Leaves of grass Collection" and Emerson praises has a common root, namely temporary insanity.”Its pungent degree can be inferred. However, he has not been struck down, instead became aware a more profound thought from this commonplace small life: “this smallest germ demonstrated that in the world actually and does not have the death, even if has the death, it has caused the life, will not wait to strangle finally the life, once the life will appear, death then along with it conclusion”.
