Enigma

It comes from time to time upon a wind that wafts aromas fragrant to a mind now wakened from long sleep. And yet, perplexed, he is resigned to yet again concede his own defeat, a yoked, unequal partner, when they meet as man and muse combined. Then unannounced, it parts and leaves him much chagrined.
---------- A 'Mistress Bradstreet' stanza - 10a:10b:6c:8b:10d:10d:6b:12a
