Does this question relate to the poem "Leaves of Grass"? If so, this is a full book of poems, and I will need you to either supply the exact quote or let me know which book it is located in. Thank you....

...having pried through the strata, analyzed to a hair

Leaves of Grass “Song of Myself” 

 

Thank you... I cannot figure out if that is defining layers or social status

In context, this refers to levels or layers of meaning.
