I like this idea a lot! Here's mine:
This a part of section 4 of Walt Whitman's poem "Children of Adam." I've been working my way through "Leaves of Grass." I have perceiv'd that to be with those I like is enough,
To stop in the 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 neck or her neck for a
moment, what is it this then?
I do not ask any more delight, I swim in it as in a sea.
