Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924. |
Part One: Life CXXXI |
| WHO never wanted,—maddest joy | |
| Remains to him unknown; | |
| The banquet of abstemiousness | |
| Surpasses that of wine. | |
| Within its hope, though yet ungrasped | 5 |
| Desire’s perfect goal, | |
| No nearer, lest reality | |
| Should disenthrall thy soul. |
