A Woman Waits for Me

Sex contains all, bodies, souls,
meanings, proofs, purities, delicacies, results, promulgations,
songs, commands, health, pride, the maternal mystery, the seminal milk
All hopes, benifactions, bestowals, all the passions, loves, beauties, delights, of all the earth
All the governments, judges, gods, fellow'd persons of the earth,
These are contain'd in sex as parts of itself and justifications of itself
Without shame the man I like knows and avows the deliciousness of his sex,
Without shame the woman I like knows and avows hers.

by Walt Whitman
