One of the major pleasures(1)life is appetite, and one of our major duties should be to(2)it. Appetite is the(3)of living: it is one of the(4)that tells you that you are still curious to exist, that you still have an edge on your longings and want to bite into the world and taste its multitudinous(5)and juices.(6)appetite, of course, I don’t mean just the desire for food, but any condition of(7)desire, any burning in the blood that proves you want more than you’ve got, and that you haven’t yet(8)your life. Wilde said he felt sorry for those who never got their heart’s desire, but sorrier(9)for those who did. I got mine once only, and it nearly killed me, and I’ve always preferred wanting(10)since.

For appetite, for me, is this state of wanting, which keeps one’s(11)alive. I remember learning this lesson long ago as a child, when treats and orgies were(12), and when I discovered that the(13)pitch of happiness was not in actually eating a toffee, but in(14)it beforehand. True, the first bite was delicious, (15)once the toffee was gone one was left with nothing, neither toffee nor lust.

So, for me, one of the keenest(16)of appetite remains in the wanting, not the satisfaction. In this condition, of course, I know that the object of desire is always at its most flawlessly(17), which is why I would carry the preservation of appetite(18)of deliberate fasting, simply because I think that appetite is(19)to lose, too precious to be bludgeoned(20)insensibility by satiation and over-doing it.
