The traffic between storytelling and metaphysics is continuous.

— John Berger



Emily Dickinson Keeps the Sabbath

Some keep the Sabbath going to Church -I keep it, staying at Home - With a Bobolink for a Chorister - And an Orchard, for a Dome -

Some keep the Sabbath in Surplice - I just wear my Wings - And instead of tolling the Bell, for Church, Our little Sexton - sings.

God preaches, a noted Clergyman - And the sermon is never long.

- From The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson
