Appetite & Food!

Henry David Thoreau

Who has not sometimes derived an inexpressible satisfaction

From his food in which appetite had no share?

 

The soul not being mistress of herself,

One looks and does not see,

One listens and does not hear,

One eats and does not know the savor of food

 

He who distinguishes the true savor of his food can never be a glutton

Not that food, which enters into the mouth Defileth a man,

But the appetite with which it is eaten!
