I have perceiv d that to be with those I like is enough To stop in company with the rest at evening is enough To be surrounded by beautiful curious breathing laughing flesh is enough To pass among them or touch any one or rest my arm ever so lightly round his or her neck for a moment what is this then I do not ask any more delight I swim in it as in a sea 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 WALT WHITMAN
