Question
Explain — ‘without me were seeds only, latent, unborn’.
✓
Answer
In the poem ‘The voice of the rain’, the poet Walt Whitman translates for the readers what the rain is trying to tell him. The rain wets the dry soil so the seeds which have been lying asleep and dormant will germinate to grow into plants with the help of the soil and water.
The rain therefore says that without it the seeds would never grow into plants but remain dormant in the soil.
