Best Things dwell out of Sight

by Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson

998

Best Things dwell out of Sight
The Pearl - the Just - Our Thought.

Most shun the Public Air
Legitimate, and Rare -

The Capsule of the Wind
The Capsule of the Mind

Exhibit here, as doth a Burr -
Germ's Germ be where?

    Shadow at the Feast
    by Herman Melville
    Now churches are leafy, Now evergreens reign; 'Tis green Burnam wood Come to gray Dunsinane! Now the night it is starry And lavishly go In a largess of music The bells thro' the snow.
