Whitman's "Overstaid Fraction": Section 38 of "Song of Myself"

Abstract

Seeks a better understanding of Section 38 of "Song of Myself" by attempting to answer three questions about the passage: "What is the 'usual mistake' that the poet discovers? What does it mean to look 'with a separate look'? And what is the 'overstaid fraction' that is resumed?"
