The following text is from Walt Whitman's 1860 poem "Calamus 24."<br/><br/>I HEAR it is charged against me that I seek to destroy institutions;<br/><br/>But really I am neither for nor against institutions<br/><br/>(What indeed have I in common with them?--Or what with the destruction of them?),<br/><br/>Only I will establish in the Mannahatta [Manhattan] and in every city of These States, inland and seaboard,<br/><br/>And in the fields and woods, and above every keel [ship] little or large, that dents the water,<br/><br/>Without edifices, or rules, or trustees, or any argument,<br/><br/>The institution of the dear love of comrades.<br/><br/>Which choice best describes the overall structure of the text?
