Hunger causes delirium,
or so they say,
and such is the case with me.
Not hunger of the stomach,
the pulpit,
that greedy centre,
but hunger of the mind:
a wretched disease
intrepid and wholly other.

Not hunger of the stomach,
the pulpit,
that greedy centre,
but hunger of the mind:
a wretched disease

I love how you distinguish the hunger of the mind from that of the stomach, by likening it to "delirium," "disease," and otherness, something that can never be wholly satisfied. You capture that hunger so well; I've felt it, and feel it even more with each passing day, and you've put it into words perfectly.
