"I shall freely admit that I've been inspired to revisit Emily Dickinson (I last read some of her poems at university which fells like a lifetime ago) by the sheer brilliance of the outstanding TV series "Dickinson" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dickins... ).
Her poems sound fresh and - apart from some words - almost modern. I'm truly enjoying a lot of them a lot more than I expected. :-)"

That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all«"

"XXV (very much presumably to Sue...)
WILD nights! Wild nights!
Were I with thee,
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!
Futile the winds
To a heart in port,—
Done with the compass,
Done with the chart.
Rowing in Eden!
Ah! the sea!
Might I but moor
To-night in thee!"
WILD nights! Wild nights!
Were I with thee,
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!
Futile the winds
To a heart in port,—
Done with the compass,
Done with the chart.
Rowing in Eden!
Ah! the sea!
Might I but moor
To-night in thee!"

Her most beautiful poem is mentioned there (parts of it).
I do the same thing, Wulf. Knowing the time that it takes to bring one to light, I like to savor each word in a poem, too.
