Emily Dickinson

Some things that fly there be
Birds-
Hours-the Bumblebee-
Of these no Elegy.

Some things that stay there be
Grief-
Hills-Eternity-
Nor this behooveth me.

There are that resting, rise.
Can I expound the skies?
How still the Riddle lies!

Consciousness and Self-Knowledge Past and Future Soul
