#Whitman singing.

Have you ever loved the body of a woman?/Have you ever loved the body of a man?/Do you not see that these are exactly the same to all in all nations/and times all over the earth?

'Surely whoever speaks to me in the right voice,
him or her I shall follow,
As the water follows the moon, silently,
with fluid steps anywhere around the globe.’

Daniel Deronda
