Walt_69

I am a: Me

Looking for a: The love of the Body of man or woman balks account ' the body itself balks account; That of the male is perfect, and that of the female is perfect.

Interested In: I know nothing about women either by experience or observation.

Location: Whatever it is, it avails not ' distance avails not, and place avails not.

Occupation: I sing the body electric.

Ethnicity: I was Manhattanese, friendly and proud!

Education: I project the history of the future.

Religion: We consider bibles and religions divine ' I do not say they are not divine; I say they have all grown out of you, and may grow out of you still; It is not they who give the life ' it is you who give the life. There is something in staying close to men and women, and looking on them, and in the contact and odor of them, that pleases the soul well; All things please the soul ' but these please the soul well.

Self-love: COME closer to me; Push close, my lovers, and take the best I possess; Field closer and closer, and give me the best you possess.

MORE ABOUT ME

Last great book I read:

It is not what is printed, preach'd, discuss'd ' it eludes discussion and print.

Most humbling moment:

Because you are greasy or pimpled, or that you was once drunk, or a thief, Or diseas'd, or rheumatic, or a prostitute, or are so now; Or from frivolity or impotence, or that you are no scholar, and never saw your name in print, Do you give in that you are any less immortal?

Celebrity I resemble most:

EARTH! my likeness!

Best (or worst) lie I've ever told:

If I contradict myself, very well then I contradict myself. I am large. I contain multitudes.

If I could be anywhere at the moment:

City of orgies, walks and joys! O Manhattan!

Song or album that puts me in the mood:

What is commonest and cheapest and nearest and easiest is Me.

The five items I can't live without:

The sun and stars that float in the open air; The apple-shaped earth, and we upon it ' surely the drift of them is something grand!

Fill in the blanks:

Europe is sexy; America is sexier.

In my bedroom, you'll find:

I bring what you much need, yet always have, Not money, amours, dress, eating, but as good; I send no agent or medium, offer no representative of value, but offer the value itself.

Why you should get to know me:

I usually wear a frock coat and high hat, carry a small cane, and the lapel of my coat is almost invariably ornamented with a boutonniere.

More about what I'm looking for:

Be composed ' be at ease with me ' I am Walt Whitman, liberal and lusty as Nature; Not till the sun excludes you, do I exclude you; Not till the waters refuse to glisten for you, and the leaves to rustle for you, do my words refuse to glisten and rustle for you. My girl, I appoint with you an appointment ' and I charge you that you make preparation to be worthy to meet me, And I charge you that you be patient and perfect till I come. Till then, I salute you with a significant look, that you do not forget me.
