Shed by a tinted window.”

With thy green mother in some shady grove,
When immelodious winds but made thee move,
And birds their ramage did on thee bestow.”

“I mind how once we lay such a transparent summer morning,
How you settled your head athwart my hips and gently turnd over
upon me,
And parted the shirt from my bosom-bone, and plunged your tongue to my bare-stript heart,
And reachd till you felt my beard, and reachd till you held my
feet.”
—Walt Whitman (18191892)
