Charles Ellicott Commentary Revelation 18:14

"And the fruits which thy soul lusted after are gone from thee, and all things that were dainty and sumptuous are perished from thee, and [men] shall find them no more at all." — Revelation 18:14 (ASV)

Directly addressed to Babylon herself.

And the fruits that thy soul . . .—Rather, And the fruits (or, the harvest) of the desire of your soul (that, namely, which your soul lusts after) departed (not “are departed:” the word expresses the thought that these things “departed once for all”) from you, and all things that are rich and that are glorious perish from you, and you will not find them any more.

The descriptive passage is interrupted by this verse, in which Babylon herself is addressed. It is in harmony with the fervor of the whole chapter that the descriptive tone should for a moment give place to this apostrophe. The fruits to which the eye of desire had looked so longingly as to a harvest of delight departed. The desire of the wicked has perished.
