<P> There are several other quotes from the poem that makes it apparent that Whitman does not consider the narrator to represent a single individual . Rather, he seems to be narrating for all: </P> <Ul> <Li> "For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you ." (Section 1) </Li> <Li> "In all people I see myself, none more and not one a barleycorn less / and the good or bad I say of myself I say of them" (Section 20) </Li> <Li> "It is you talking just as much as myself...I act as the tongue of you" (Section 47) </Li> <Li> "I am large, I contain multitudes ." (Section 51) </Li> </Ul> <Li> "For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you ." (Section 1) </Li> <Li> "In all people I see myself, none more and not one a barleycorn less / and the good or bad I say of myself I say of them" (Section 20) </Li>
