Calamus 38

Part of the cluster CALAMUS.

38.

PRIMEVAL my love for the woman I love, O bride ! O wife ! more resistless, more enduring  
 than I can tell, the thought of you ! Then separate, as disembodied, the purest born, The ethereal, the last athletic reality, my consolation, I ascend—I float in the regions of your love, O man, O sharer of my roving life.
