The narrator’s warning signaled no final rejection, however. His message was
definitely mixed. If the pursuer persisted and insisted, Whitmans’ seductive
alter-ego was willing to cooperate: “just possibly with you on a high hill-first
watching lest any person, for miles around, approach unawares…/Here to put
your lips on mine I permit you,/With the comrade’s long dwelling kiss, or the
new husband’s kiss,/ for I am the new husband, and I am the comrade.”
This passage is about a copy of some proofs he had promised to a persistent young admirer named Fred Vaughn who had been sending Walt Whitman numerous love lorn letters. It’s taken from Love Stories, written by Jonathan Ned.

From my German book: Aber er kannte sie nicht. Sie mußte ihm erzählen, daß tie Tochter seiner einstigen Hauswirte sei und daß sie einst, in jener Morgenfrühe vor seiner Abreise, ihm in der Küche eine Milch gekocht habe. Sie wurde rot, als sie es erzählte. Ja, es war Marie, es war das dürftige Kind mit dem kranken Hüftgelenk, das damals so lieb und schüchtern für ihn gesorgt hatte.
