Poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

* * *

The largest Fire ever known
Occurs each Afternoon —
Discovered is without surprise
Proceeds without concern —

Consumes and no report to men
An Occidental Town,
Rebuilt another morning
To be again burned down.

1. On the Tleakness of My Lot
2. Possession
3. The Moon Is Distant from the Sea
4. The Oriole
5. Triumph
