Oh: but, were Midas
here and all within
his grasp to keep-

Or be it avarice and
not at all reality but
sleep-

Could such allure,
or penchant haste,
impartiality confuse,
thus tantalizing taste ?
Tantalus, the Greek was punished by  the gods for spilling
family beans. So, all he tried to touch-retreated- tantalize.
