Meanings, proofs, purities, delicacies, results, promulgations,
Songs, commands, health, pride, the material mystery, the seminal milk
All hopes, benefactions, bestowals, all the passions, loves, beauties, delights of the earth,
All the governments, judges, gods, follow'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
