A man is, first, fetid sperm, then a sac of excrement, then food for worms.
---Saint Bernard
All attitudes, all the shapeliness, all the belongings of
my or your body or of any one's body, male or
female,
The lung-sponges, the stomach-sac, the bowels sweet
and clean...
O I think now these are not the aprts and poems of the
body only but of the soul,
O I think these are the soul!
---Walt Whitman
i found it in a classical Kinnell's poem called "Holy Shit" :)
