A man is, first, fetid sperm, then a sac of excrement, then food for worms. ---Saint Bernard All attitudes, all the shapeliness, all the belongings of my or your body or of any one's body, male or female, The lung-sponges, the stomach-sac, the bowels sweet and clean... O I think now these are not the aprts and poems of the body only but of the soul, O I think these are the soul! ---Walt Whitman
