• Art thou the thing I wanted?

    Begone — my Tooth has grown —

    Supply the minor Palate

    That has not starved so long —

    I tell thee while I waited

    The mystery of Food

    Increased till I abjured it

    And dine without Like God —





    Art thou the thing I wanted?
    ...

  • Who never wanted — maddest Joy

    Remains to him unknown —

    The Banquet of Abstemiousness

    Defaces that of Wine —


    Within its reach, though yet ungrasped

    Desire's perfect Goal —

    No nearer — lest the Actual —

    Should disentrall thy soul —
