The lines indicate that Whitman is more interested in communicating with individuals than with society, as shown in the first answer option.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- The lines show how the poet is not interested in large crowds and does not wish to establish anything that attracts them.
- That's because contact with these crowds is impersonal and doesn't go deep.
- However, the poet is interested in contacting individuals, as he wishes to take every man and woman on a hill walk.
This is because the poet likes the deep, and specific contact that can only be established through personal contact between individuals.
