‘I Sing the Body Electric‘ by Walt Whitman
‘I Sing the Body Electric’ by Walt Whitman is one of the poet’s well-known and celebrated early poems. It was published in 1855 in the first edition of Leaves of Grass. In this poem, Whitman celebrates the glories of existence, explores the body as a whole and its parts, and the interconnectedness of body and soul, and the interconnectedness of all irrespective of their race.
I sing the body electric,
The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them,
They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them,
And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the soul.
