Poem by Walt Whitman

Leaves of Grass. 5. Calamus. 35. Fast Anchor'd Eternal O Love!

Fast-anchor'd eternal O love! O woman I love!
O bride! O wife! more resistless than I can tell, the thought of you!
Then separate, as disembodied or another born,
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.

1. Leaves of Grass. 35. Good-Bye My Fancy. 24. The Commonplace
2. Leaves of Grass. 34. Sands at Seventy. Fancies at Navesink. 6. Proudly the Flood Comes In
3. Leaves of Grass. 20. By the Roadside. 6. Thoughts
4. Leaves of Grass. 24. Autumn Rivulets. 20. Thought
5. Leaves of Grass. 24. Autumn Rivulets. 27. Others May Praise What They Like
