AI Interpretation
Under the provisional title Seeing God, the speaker demands an experience named Willness in the current reading. One experience should suffice; the speaker addresses shame and ends by saying there is more.
The corrected is for sure; concerns certainty rather than the permanence suggested by the former transcript. The speaker's accusation and religious title require a reading grounded in the unresolved handwritten word. The scan does not support a confident interpretation of Willness as a named faculty or experience.
'Seeing God' says 'If you / haven't experienced / Willness, Even / once is Enough,' and 'Shame on you / is for sure;' before 'There is always More...'.
The poem scolds and encourages at once. The key word is read as Willness but could be another word.
