When he whom I love travels with me or sits a long while holding me by the hand, … Then I am charged with untold and untellable wisdom, I am silent, I require nothing further, I cannot answer the question of appearances or that of identity beyond the grave, But I walk or sit indifferent, I am satisfied, He ahold of my hand has completely satisfied me. ✨ Walt Whitman (2011). Walt Whitman's Songs of Male Intimacy and Love: Live Oak, with Moss and Calamus, p.87, University of Iowa Press
