Despair’s Advantage Is Achieved

799
 
Despair’s advantage is achieved
By suffering—Despair—
To be assisted of Reverse
One must Reverse have bore—
 
The Worthiness of Suffering like
The Worthiness of Death
Is ascertained by tasting—
 
As can no other Mouth
 
Of Savors—make us conscious—
As did ourselves partake—
Affliction feels impalpable
Until Ourselves are struck—
