Dumb ignorance

I suppose it doesn't really matter how one learns as long as one learns. So today, browsing blogs via Technorati I landed on "Body Electric"". Guess everybody (else) knows the title comes comes from a Walt Whitman poem. I didn't. I researched it, read the Wikipedia entry, read the whole enchilada. I am not sure about the whole poem, but these verses are beautiful:

I have perceiv’d that to be with those I like is enough,
To stop in company with the rest at evening is enough,
To be surrounded by beautiful, curious, breathing, laughing flesh is enough,
To pass among them, or touch any one, or rest my arm ever so lightly round his or her neck for a moment—what is this, then?
I do not ask any more delight—I swim in it, as in a sea.
