NPPF: pie ala Maud, Keat's version

[Bandwraith at aol.com]

Given the other references to Romanticism, perhaps Keat's version
in the last verse of "Ode on Melancholy" is worth a glance:  

       (...)

       She dwells with Beauty - Beauty that must die; 
             And Joy, whose hand is ever at his lips 
          Bidding adieu; and aching Pleasure nigh, 
             Turning to poison while the bee-mouth sips: 
           Ay, in the very temple of Delight 
              Veil'd Melancholy has her sovran shrine, 
                 Though seen of none save him whose strenuous tongue 
           Can burst Joy's grape against his palate fine; 
         His soul shall taste the sadness of her might, 
               And be among her cloudy trophies hung.
