Walt Whitman - Native Moments

Walt Whitman - Native Moments

NATIVE moments! when you come upon me--Ah you are here now! Give me now br libidinous joys only! Give me the drench of my passions! Give me life br coarse and rank! To-day, I go consort with nature's darlings--to-night too; br I am for those who believe in loose delights--I share the midnight orgies br of young men; I dance with the dancers, and drink with the drinkers; The br echoes ring with our indecent calls; I take for my love some prostitute--I br pick out some low person for my dearest friend, He shall be lawless, rude, br illiterate--he shall be one condemn'd by others for deeds done; I will play br a part no longer--Why should I exile myself from my companions? 10 O you br shunn'd persons! I at least do not shun you, I come forthwith in your br midst--I will be your poet, I will be more to you than to any of the rest.
