"Gourmet." Nothing is
so desirable as hunger.

00:00:05.010 --> 00:00:08.340 align:middle line:84%
I do not mean the blight
of shriveled hands

00:00:08.340 --> 00:00:11.820 align:middle line:84%
or the ballooned intestines
of rickety children.

00:00:11.820 --> 00:00:14.940 align:middle line:84%
I mean a cheerful
pain not kin to danger

00:00:14.940 --> 00:00:17.970 align:middle line:84%
but the refinement of
a nurtured leisure,

00:00:17.970 --> 00:00:21.480 align:middle line:84%
a rhythm toward intensity,
the right cherry

00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:24.180 align:middle line:90%
before exquisite violence.

00:00:24.180 --> 00:00:27.420 align:middle line:84%
This we may balance
guilty of no grossness

00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:31.440 align:middle line:84%
with a taste for wormwood
and texture of experiment

00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.580 align:middle line:84%
that there may be gardens
within gardens all before a play

00:00:35.580 --> 00:00:37.170 align:middle line:90%
of desolation.

00:00:37.170 --> 00:00:41.430 align:middle line:84%
Then, from the odors we
compress the moist conservatory

00:00:41.430 --> 00:00:44.520 align:middle line:84%
comes to bloom behind
the formal door

00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:47.370 align:middle line:84%
just as we turn our
faces from the smell

00:00:47.370 --> 00:00:50.500 align:middle line:84%
and close the
darkening casement.

00:00:50.500 --> 00:00:51.000 align:middle line:90%
