Quote #4
The wolf, the snake, the hog, not wanting in me,
The cheating look, the frivolous word, the adulterous wish, not wanting,
Refusals, hates, postponements, meanness, laziness, none of these wanting. (lines 78-80)
The speaker has a veritable jungle inside him. He's part-man, part-wolf/snake/hog. Once again, his choice of words is interesting. He says his evil thoughts and actions are "not wanting," or lacking, as if it would be a problem if they were lacking. His "dark patches" make him a complete person.
Quote #5
But I was a Manhattanese, free, friendly, and proud
I was called by my nighest name by clear loud voices of young men as they saw me approaching or passing, (lines 81-82)
By calling himself "Manhattanese," the speaker connects his identity to the Native Americans who originally inhabited the island. A lot of people think of Whitman as a nature poet, someone who hangs out in the grass all day. But, at heart, he's a city slicker: a big, brash New Yorker.
