We have tested and tasted too much, lover -
Through a chink too wide there comes in no wonder.
But here in this Advent-darkened room
Where the dry black bed and the sugarless tea
Of penance will charm back the luxury
Of a child's soul, we'll return to Doom
The knowledge we stole but could not use.
From Advent by Patrick Kavanagh.
