Sponsorship -- HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY!

Dec 12, 2011 09:28

Today is a belated sponsorship HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the lovely Emily Dickinson, who has been dead for quite some time, but remains a major influence on modern poetry. In her own words...

I hide myself within my flower,
That wearing on your breast,
You, unsuspecting, wear me too-
And angels know the rest.

I hide myself within my flower,
That, fading from your vase,
You, unsuspecting, feel for me
Almost a loneliness.

Happy birthday, Emily, wherever you are, and thanks to dormouse_in_tea for this sponsorship!
