Primeval My Love For The Woman I Love

By Walt Whitman

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.
