And as to Life’s Course,
Do hold this one thought:
We are made,
Each of us,
As much by what we will,
As by what we will not.
And as to Life’s Course,
Do hold this one thought:
We are made,
Each of us,
As much by what we will,
As by what we will not.
Emily Dickinson
I found the phrase to every thought
I ever had, but one;
And that defies me,–as a hand
Did try to chalk the sun
To races nurtured in the dark;–
How would your own begin?
Can blaze be done in cochineal,
Or noon in mazarin?
