She dwells with BeautyBeauty 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 25
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. 30
http://www.bartleby.com/101/628.htmlIs there a connection between melancholy and joy? Apathy and chronicity so often follows treatment with ADs. It seems like you can't attack melancholy with psychopharmaceuticals without damaging joy sometimes.
