WHO NEVER WANTED, - MADDEST JOY, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: Should disentrall thy soul
Subject(s): Human Behavior


Who never wanted - maddest Joy
Remains to him unknown -
The Banquet of Abstemiousness
Defaces that of Wine -

Within its reach, though yet ungrasped
Desire's perfect Goal -
No nearer - lest the Actual -
Should disentrall thy soul
