i see something of god each hour of the twenty-four, and each moment then,
in the faces of men and women i see god, and in my own face in the glass. (lines 1281 – 1282)

what poetic technique does whitman illustrate in the passage from "song of myself"?

rhyming lines
end-stopped lines
regular meter
regular rhythm

regular rhythm D. at least thats what it looks like

The correct answer is B. End-stopped lines

Explanation:

In poetry, an end-stopped line is a poetic device in which there is a pause after the end of a phrase, sentence or verse, this pause is usually given by a punctuation mark such as comma, period or semicolon. This also means the phrase or clause in verses with end-stopped lines are mainly complete phrases or clauses, therefore the meaning of them does not continue in the following verse but ends with the pause introduced by the punctuation mark, which makes each line be a complete, small unit of meaning.

In the case of the excerpt from the poem "Song of Myself" by Whitman it is possible to find end-stopped lines as each complete idea is separated by commas for example after the phrases "I see something of God each hour of the twenty-four" and "and in my own face in the glass" the poet places a comma or a period to introduce a pause and mark a complete idea, which makes this poem be divided into complete clauses separated by commas, which is what end-stopped lines are about. Thus, the poetic technique that can be found in the passage from "Song of Myself" is end-stopped lines.

answer:   a good wench, give it me.

iago

good girl, give it to me.

emilia

what will you do with ’t, that you have been so earnest

325to have me filch it?

emilia

and what are you going to do with it? why did you want it so much that you begged me to steal it?

iago

  why, what is that to you?

iago

what’s it to you?

emilia

if it be not for some purpose of import,

give ’t me again. poor lady, she’ll run mad

when she shall lack it.

emilia

if you don’t need it for some important reason, then give it back to me. poor lady, she’ll go crazy when she sees it’s missing.

iago

be not acknown on ’t,

330i have use for it. go, leave me.

iago

don’t admit to knowing anything about it. i need it. now go, leave me.

exit emilia

emilia exits.

i will in cassio’s lodging lose this napkin

and let him find it. trifles light as air

are to the jealous confirmations strong

as proofs of holy writ. this may do something.

335the moor already changes with my poison.

dangerous conceits are in their natures poisons

which at the first are scarce found to distaste,

but with a little act upon the blood

burn like the mines of sulfur.

i’ll leave this handkerchief at cassio’s house and let him find it.to a jealous man, a meaningless little thing like this looks like absolute proof. this handkerchief may be useful to me. the moor’s mind has already become infected with my poisonous suggestions. ideas can be like poisons. at first they hardly even taste bad, but once they get into your blood they start burning like hot lava.

enter othello

othello enters.

    i did say so.

340look, where he comes. not poppy nor mandragora

nor all the drowsy syrups of the world,

shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep

which thou owedst yesterday.

here he comes. no drugs or sleeping pills will ever give you the restful sleep that you had last night.

othello

    ha! ha! false to me?

othello

argh! she’s cheating on me?

iago

why, how now, general? no more of that.

iago

oh, general, , no more of that!
