thirst

 

.

Water, is taught by thirst.

Land — by the Oceans passed.

Transport — by throe — 

Peace — by its battles told —

Love, by Memorial Mold —

Birds, by the Snow.

—Emily Dickinson

the root of the wind

 

 

 

.

I think that the Root of the Wind is Water --

It would not sound so deep

Were it a Firmamental Product --

Airs no Oceans keep --


Mediterranean intonations --

To a Current's Ear --

There is a maritime conviction

In the Atmosphere -- 


—Emily Dickinson
