Analysis Of Walt Whitman's The Noiseless Patient Spider

In the poem The Noiseless Patient Spider, Walt Whitman compared the souls of humans to those of spiders. Then three different artists read and drew their interpretation of the poem. The first artist painted on glass, to illustrate what she saw. The second artist used film, and I feel that he was showing the perspective ofthe soul instead of the spider. The last artist used a sketch board to draw the life of a spider. I connected personally the most with the third artist.
The third artist connects with me because what he draws in his art reflects what I imagine when I listen to the poem. It makes me really think about the poem and helps me to connect things that I wouldn’t think of without the pictures, like they talked about

circles going around and around until they connect with each other, and then the circles on the poem grew until they were touching and fading into one big circle. I also love how the animation moves, the way its not really still as it slowly moves around.
I was impacted by the TED because it showed me how our souls all touch each other in everything we do. Like when they talked about how to gossamer strands reach out and grasp other things. Another point that brought that out is when it was talking about the spider looking out over everything on a cliff, like a soul looks out from us. Lastly, we all keep going until something happens to us. The TED talk was really beneficial to me, and I think it would be to anyone else who read it.
