  1. Craving is like Shakespeare's description of lust in Sonnet 129. "Th' expense of spirit in a waste of shame is lust in action enjoyed no sooner but despisèd straight, a bliss in proof and proved, a very woe; Before, a joy proposed; behind, a dream." Aww poor baby. Bill was really having a hard time of it in those sonnets.
