         A Few of My Favorite Things

   
I want to share with my friends some of the things that are important to me.  This passage from Walt is one that just gives me shivers when I read it.  Even though I am away from school, I still enjoy my rteading. Please enjoy this passage with me!
Excerpt from Walt Whitman's Children of Adam
This is the female form,
A divine nimbus exhales from it from head to foot,
It attracts with fierce undeniable attraction,
I am drawn by its breath as if I were no more than a      helpless vapor, all falls aside but myself and it,
Books, art, religion, time, the visible and solid earth, and    what was expected of heaven or fear'd of hell, are now      consumed,
Mad filaments, ungovernable shoots play out of it, the response likewise ungovernable,
Hair,
bosom, hips, bend of legs, negligent falling hands all diffused,  mine too diffused,
Ebb stung by the flow and flow stung by the ebb, love-flesh swelling and deliciously aching,
Limitless limpid jets of love hot and enormous, quivering   jelly of love, white-blow and delirious juice,


Bridegroom night of love working surely and softly into the      prostrate dawn,
Undulating into the willing and yielding day,
Lost in the cleave of the clasping and sweet-flesh'd day
