| PRIMEVAL my love for the woman I love, O bride! O wife! more resistless, more enduring than I can tell, the thought of you! Then separate, as disembodied, the purest born, The ethereal, the last athletic reality, my consolation, I ascend--I float in the regions of your love, O man, O sharer of my roving life.
Walt Whitman (1819-1892) |
