Emily Dickinson's Correspondences
Correspondence with Susan Dickinson


H 252a
  Exhiliration is the Breeze
That lifts us from 
the Ground
And leaves us in 
another place
Whose statement is 
not found -

Returns us not, 
but after time
We soberly descend
A little newer for 
the term
Upon Enchanted Ground -
                     
Best Witchcraft is 
Geometry
To the Magician's Mind -
His Ordinary Acts 
are feats
To thinking of mankind .    

 

H 127a
