The Taste of Manna

Let us learn from those who ate manna.
Manna is called "Heaven's bread,"
As it did not materialize
In this world.

Our sages said
That each who tasted it
Found whatever they wished for,
Meaning it had to have consisted of
Opposite forms.
Thus, one might taste sweetness in it
While another would taste it as acrid and bitter.

Hence, the manna itself
Had to have consisted
Of both opposites at once.
