I'm a natural speed reader which is the worst way to read a poem, so I'm training myself to linger on lines like "Here, what hungers is lovely cruel..."

You need a break between poems anyway with such grim subject matter, but it's so lush (even pretty) all the same.

"the stricken Prince...overcame no obstacles to arrive black famine at the garden of your sleep."
