The Mind

So the eyes accost and sunder

by Emily Dickinson 1830–1886

From Further Poems of Emily Dickinson (1929)

The Mind

So the eyes accost and sunder
In an audience,
Stamped in instances forever,
So may countenance
Entertain without addressing
Countenance of One
In a neighboring horizon,
Gone as soon as known.
