Seasons #3, D is for Dickinson #4

A little Madness in the Spring
Is wholesome even for the King,
But God be with the Clown —

Who ponder this tremendous scene —
This whole Experiment of Green —
As if it were his own!

Love #18, Mathematics #4, D is for Dickinson #3

We shall find the Cube of the Rainbow.
Of that, there is no doubt.
But the Arc of a Lover's conjecture
Eludes the finding out.

(c. 1880)

The Order of the Universe #2, D is for Dickinson #2

The Fact that Earth is Heaven --
Whether Heaven is Heaven or not
If not an Affidavit
Of that specific spot
Not only must confirm us
That it is not for us
But that it would affront us
To dwell in such a place --

Emily Dickinson (c. 1877)

Love #11, D is for Dickinson #1
