Breathe

[ChristopherSea]

Christopher, AJ,

Thanks for the read and the comments.

Christopher, I was using beggar to mean "make poor", or "to reduce to utter poverty; impoverish (from dictionary.com, def. #5), although I am only responsible for the first few levels of meaning, the muse is responsible for the rest So I could also see it as begging the question, as doing so would fruitlessly drain energy from whatever it was applied to, whether inspiration, or a generation.

AJ, Although I have no idea what an English parish Church service book is, I think your application of the poem to a spiritual problem, is energetically consistent with the intent of the poem, that is, I think it is a valid interpretation even if that wasn't my initial intent.

Much obliged for the reply!
