Then to this earthen Bowl did I adjourn
My Lip the secret Well of Life to learn:
And Lip to Lip it murmur'd---"While you live"
"Drink!---for once dead you never shall return."
I wonder if there is a secret Well of Life here in London? If only it were as easy as getting an earthen bowl to hold all that divine elixir.
Who would hesitate to drink?
I wonder - would I know I was even thirsty unless I was offered a sip?
Perhaps I think I'm drinking but I'm not.
Or have I drunk too much and can't see straight?
Is there more to ignite my senses and my soul?
Or have my lips formed a secret pact behind my back...
