Fast Anchor'd Eternal O Love!

Walt Whitman

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.
