Poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

* * *

Life, and Death, and Giants
  Such as these, are still.
Minor apparatus, hopper of the mill,
Beetle at the candle,
  Or a fife's small fame,
Maintain by accident
  That they proclaim.

1. A Shady Friend for Torrid Days

3. Portraits Are to Daily Faces
4. The Goal
5. The Butterfly's Assumption-Gown
