the problem of gratified desire

Posted in

If she puts honey in her tea
and praises prudence in the stirring up
She drinks, finally,
a drop of perfect sweetness
hot at the bottom of the cup

There will be
pleasures more complex than it
(pleasures exchanged were infinite)
but none so cheap
more neat or definite
