Though Whitman and Dickinson were quite different poets

 Though Whitman and Dickinson were quite different poets, both were greatly influenced by the transcendentalist movement.  In the second part of your essay, explain this transcendentalist influence in Whitman and Dickinson, using at least four of the poems listed in your discussion.  Ask yourself, what "tenet" of transcendentalism does each one express?

• "Song of Myself #1" - Consider the poem as a whole, but also think specifically of these lines:

Creeds and schools in abeyance,

Retiring back a while sufficed at what they are, but never forgotten,

I harbor for good or bad, I permit to speak at every hazard,

Nature without check with original energy.

• "When I Heard the Learned Astronomer"

• "Much Madness Is Divinest Sense"

• "I Taste a Liquor Never Brewed"

• "Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church"
