FAST ANCHOR'D ETERNAL O LOVE! by WALT WHITMAN

Poet Analysis

First Line: FAST-ANCHOR'D ETERNAL O LOVE! O WOMAN I LOVE!
Last Line: O SHARER OF MY ROVING LIFE.
Subject(s): LOVE;

Fast-anchor'd eternal O love! O woman I love!
O bride! O wife! more resistless than I can tell, the thought of you!
Then separate, as disembodied or another born,
Ethereal, the last athletic reality, my consolation,
I ascend, I float in the regions of your love O man,
O sharer of my roving life.
