    The speaker longingly looks upon a passing stranger, feeling as though they have lived a life of joy together before. Though they have never met, the speaker recalls affectionate memories of growing up with the stranger, eating and sleeping with them, their bodies no longer solely their own. As they pass each other, the speaker takes pleasure in the stranger's eyes, face and flesh, and will think of them when alone at night, certain they will meet again.

    TO A STRANGER

    Walt Whitman

    PASSING stranger! you do not know how longingly I look upon you, You must be he I was seeking, or she I was seeking, (it comes to me, as of a dream,) I have somewhere surely lived a life of joy with you, All is recalld as we flit by each other, fluid, affectionate, chaste, matured, You grew up with me, were a boy with me, or a girl with me, 5 I ate with you, and slept with youyour body has become not yours only, nor left my body mine only, You give me the pleasure of your eyes, face, flesh, as we passyou take of my beard, breast, hands, in return, I am not to speak to youI am to think of you when I sit alone, or wake at night alone, I am to waitI do not doubt I am to meet you again, I am to see to it that I do not lose you.
