147: The float seems to learn love fever is a disease
as desire is death, unwelcome overnight:
“The float is radiant, jammed with radiant wares,”
had we anticipated, not long ago, “but no, had I been
eloquent as to the fair as well as to the sickly, the bright
— we’d need no caption.”
Mad discourse throughout anticipated that base point, past cure, past care ..
Why does reason leave me now when there’s a move to go?
Tho vainly expressed, longing is still well fed by our appetite to please.
