DESIRE - Who never wanted, -- maddest joy
BY
Emily Dickinson


Buy Emily Dickinson's Works



Who never wanted, -- maddest joy
Remains to him unknown:
The banquet of abstemiousness
Surpasses that of wine.

Within its hope, though yet ungrasped
Desire's perfect goal,
No nearer, lest reality
Should disenthrall thy soul.
