What does Walt Whitman mean honeyed morphine on line 27 of the poem myself

1 answer

What's morphine used for? Does it have any taste? Or do you think, given the context of the surrounding lines, he's referring to some kind of near-death experience?

You must take into account the entire passage, not just a couple of words.

The word "honeyed" can also imply that it's sweet (not literally the taste of it) and welcomed.

What do you think?
