Famous Poets :
Part One: Life, XCIV
>> Emily Dickinson <<
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 criticise
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”!
