Head to Toe

“Well, as the sun sets over the harbor here in Cannes, I can see that it’s time for us to go. In closing, I want to leave you with the words of Walt Whitman:

'I sing the body electric, The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them, They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them, And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the soul. Was it doubted that those who corrupt their own bodies conceal themselves? And if those who defile the living are as bad as they who defile the dead? And if the body does not do fully as much as the soul? And if the body were not the soul, what is the soul?’

Good question, Walt. I don’t know about you, but I’m going to go get a full body massage. I’ll see you next week right here on Theme Time Radio Hour, with more full-bodied Themes, Dreams and Schemes.”
