“Walt Whitman regarded the soul, how he spelled it out in his poem I Sing the Body Electric-
... Head, neck, hair, ears, drop and tympan of the ears, Eyes, eye-fringes, iris of the eye, eyebrows, and the waking and sleeping of the lids, Mouth, tongue, lips, teeth, roof of the mouth, jaws, and the jaw hinges ... The lung-sponges, the stomach-sac, the bowels sweet and clean ... The womb, the teats, nipples, breast-milk, tears, laughter, weeping, love-looks, love-perturbations and risings ... The thin red jellies within you or within me, the bones and the marrow in the bones ...
to merely dip into his exuberant parsings of the flesh. "Oh I say now these are the soul!" he enthuses.
Yes.”
Chet Raymo, When God Is Gone, Everything Is Holy: The Making of a Religious Naturalist
