In the fourth stanza of Walt Whitman's epic poem, "Song of the Broad-Axe," the poet delves into the transformative power of the axe, a symbol of both destruction and creation. Through vivid imagery and rhythmic language, Whitman explores the axe's role in shaping the American landscape, from the felling of ancient forests to the construction of new settlements. This stanza captures the essence of Whitman's vision of a nation forged through both labor and violence, a testament to the indomitable spirit of the American people.
