Song Of The Open Road - Whitman

"Allons! whoever you are, come travel with me!
Traveling with me, you find what never tires."


As mentioned in a previous post, it does not matter who travels on this open road so long as they are willing to be open to new experiences for growth in the human soul. Whitman believes travel should be an experience shared with anyone since each person has something to be learned from. Different experiences with different people via travel enhances a person's understanding of life in general. The second line refers to the idea that there will always be something to learn from experiences of traveling. Something new and interesting always awaits to be discovered when out on the open road.
