Loafe with me on the grass-loose the stop from your throat; Not words, not music or rhyme I want-not custom or lecture, not even the best; Only the lull I like, the hum of your valved voice. (Walt Whitman)

Loafe with me on the grass-loose the stop from your throat; Not words, not music or rhyme I want-not custom or lecture, not even the best; Only the lull I like, the hum of your valved voice.
