poetic interlude

[aamcnamara]

I dwell in Possibility--
A fairer House than Prose--
More numerous of Windows--
Superior--for Doors--

Of Chambers as the Cedars--
Impregnable of Eye--
And for an Everlasting Roof
The Gambrels of the Sky--

Of Visitors--the fairest--
For Occupation--This--
The spreading wide my narrow Hands
To gather Paradise--


(Emily Dickinson)


She got it right, that Emily.

mm, yes. I love that first line in particular.

The first two lines together are my favorite.
