fierce-throated beauty

"Let him who is without my poems be assassinated!

Let the cow, the horse, the camel, the garden-bee -- let the mud-fish, the lobster, the mussel, the eel, the sting-ray, and the grunting pig-fish -- let these, and the like of these, be put on a perfect equality with man and woman!

Let churches accomodate serpents, vermin, and the corpses of those who have died of the most filthy diseases!"

"Respondez" by Walt Whitman
