Poems, Series 2: XLV. Undue significance a starving man attaches

XLV. Undue significance a starving man attaches

Undue significance a starving man attaches
To food
Far off; he sighs, and therefore hopeless,
And therefore good.

Partaken, it relieves indeed, but proves us
That spices fly
In the receipt. It was the distance
Was savory.
