BodySoul

If any thing is sacred the human body is sacred,
And the glory and sweet of a man
is the token of manhood untainted...

Head, neck, hair, ears, drop and tympan of the ears,
Eyes, eye-fringes, iris of the eye, eyebrows,
and the waking or
sleeping of the lids, Mouth, tongue, lips,
teeth, roof of the mouth,|
jaws, and the jaw-hinges,
Nose, nostrils of the nose, and the partition,
Cheeks, temples, forehead, chin, throat,
back of the neck, neck-slue,
Strong shoulders, manly beard, scapula,
hind-shoulders,and the ample side-round of the chest,
Upper-arm, armpit, elbow-socket,
lower-arm, arm-sinews, arm-bones,
Wrist and wrist-joints, hand, palm, knuckles,
thumb, forefinger, finger-joints, finger-nails,
Broad breast-front, curling hair of the breast,
breast-bone, breast-side,
Ribs, belly, backbone, joints of the backbone,
Hips, hip-sockets, hip-strength, inward and outward round,
man-balls, man-root,
Strong set of thighs, well carrying the trunk above,
Leg-fibres, knee, knee-pan, upper-leg, under-leg,
Ankles, instep, foot-ball, toes, toe-joints, the heel;

O I say these are not the parts and poems of the body only,
but of the soul,
O I say now these are the soul!

Walt Whitman Leaves of Grass
