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. This Merit Hath the Worst
2. Contrast
3. The Nearest Dream Recedes, Unrealized
4. In Lands I Never Saw, They Say
5. He Put the Belt around My Life
