Starting from Paumanok - §19
O Camerado close! O you and me at last, and us two only.
O a word to clear one's path ahead endlessly!
O something ecstatic and undemonstrable! O music wild!
O now I triumph—and you shall also;
O hand in hand—O wholesome pleasure—O one more desirer and lover!
O to haste firm holding—to haste, haste on with me.
(I love it when he talks sexy.)
This is my favorite Whitman. I seem to repeat this under my breath constantly.
