Emily Dickinson - If the foolish, call them "flowers"
|
If the foolish, call them "flowers" -- Need the wiser, tell? If the Savants "Classify" them It is just as well! Those who read the "Revelations" Must not criticize Those who read the same Edition -- With beclouded Eyes! Could we stand with that Old "Moses" -- "Canaan" denied -- Scan like him, the stately landscape On the other side -- Doubtless, we should deem superfluous Many Sciences, Not pursued by learned Angels In scholastic skies! Low amid that glad Belles lettres Grant that we may stand, Stars, amid profound Galaxies -- At that grand "Right hand"! |
