Explicación:

"Canto de mí mismo" es un poema de Walt Whitman, parte de su colección Leaves of Grass. También es el poema más extenso de esta colección y aborda la búsqueda de identidad.

En el primer fragmento del poema - ''El primero que injerto y aumento sobre mí, el segundo lo traduzco a nueva lengua'', el término 'injerto' significa combinar o integrar.

En el segundo fragmento - ''Podría ser que tú te descubras de los pechos de jóvenes'', la palabra 'descubrir' significa ser revelado.

En el último fragmento, "Tierra de brillo y oscura moteando la corriente del río", el contexto de 'moteando' se refiere a marcar con manchas o blotches.

An oxymoron represents a rhetorical device where contradictory terms are combined for a specific artistic effect, whereas an euphemism involves using a term that softens or substitutes a harsher or more explicit term.
