The Mind
Strong draughts of their refreshing minds
From Further Poems of Emily Dickinson (1929)
The Mind
Strong draughts of their refreshing minds
To drink, enables mine
Through desert or the
Wilderness,
As bore it sealéd wine—
To go elastic, or as One
The camel's trait attained,
How powerful the stimulus
Of an hermetic mind!
