i find my deliverance in you

Two boxers embracing, vintage, gay photo

Now when I am near to you, dear friend,
Passing out of myself, being delivered —
Through those eyes and lips and hands, so loved, so ardently loved,

I am become free;
In the sound of your voice I dwell
As in a world defended from evil.

When I am accounted by the world to be — all that I leave behind;
It is nothing to me any longer.
Like one who leaves a house with all its mouldy old furniture and pitches
        his camp under heaven’s blue,
        So I take up my abode in your presence —

I find my deliverance in you.



Text: Edward Carpenter, When I am near you, Towards Democracy, 1905

    You may be in a position to save some money by giving these products some new life. Let’s begin with the “throne.” It does have a number of other names, but this one will suffice. This can easily be achieved with a screwdriver or a drill.
