position struck me the most. I comprehend biases as predetermined dispositions to act or think in a certain way as to reflect your own personal opinion. The three biases that were defined to us are emotional, confirmation, and expectancy biases. Emotional biases are biases that are heavily influenced by one’s own wishes or feelings.

(90 - 91) This line is a testament to the way Whitman views spirituality and it’s connection to the human form, in which the spiritual is just as relevant to Whitman as the natural and the physical.
