[XLV. Undue significance a starving man attaches]
Undue significance a starving man attaches
To food
Far off; he sighs, and therefore hopeless,
And therefore good.
To food
Far off; he sighs, and therefore hopeless,
And therefore good.
Partaken, it relieves indeed, but proves us
That spices fly
In the receipt. It was the distance
Was savory.
