emily dickinson for sunday tea

March 29th, 2009 · 4 Comments

emily dickinsonfor a leisurely sunday delight, please visit my friend ashok’s blog and a looong discussion of an emily dickinson poem – this one:

i could suffice for him, i knew -
he – could suffice for me -
yet hesitating fractions – both
surveyed infinity -

“would i be whole” he sudden broached -
my syllable rebelled -
‘twas face to face with nature – forced -
‘twas face to face with god -

withdrew the sun – to other wests -
withdrew the furthest star
before decision – stooped to speech -
and then – be audibler

the answer of the sea unto
the motion of the moon -
herself adjust her tides – unto -
could i – do else – with mine?
