Dickinson/Holland Correspondence: Poem 1491

poems sent from dickinson to elizabeth holland

To Elizabeth Holland
From ED

The Road to Paradise is plain,
And holds scarce one.
Not that it is not firm
But we presume
A Dimpled Road
Is more preferred.
The Belles of Paradise are few -
Not me - nor you -
But unsuspected things -
Mines have no Wings.
