Part 2 — SATIETY

Reading edition

To yearn for what we have not had, to sit With hungry eyes glued on the Future’s gate, Why, that is heaven compared to having it With all the power gone to appreciate.

Better to wait and yearn, and still to wait, And die at last with unappeased desire, Than live to be the jest of such a fate, For that is my conception of hell-fire.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
