Poem

If the foolish, call them

Emily Dickinson
168 If the foolish, call them "flowers"— Need the wiser, tell? If the Savants "Classify" them It is just as well! Those who read the "Revelations" Must not criticize Those who read the same Edition— With beclouded Eyes! Could we stand with that Old "Moses"— "Canaan" denied— Scan like him, the stately landscape On the other side— Doubtless, we should deem superfluous Many Sciences, Not pursued by learned Angels In scholastic skies! Low amid that glad Belles lettres Grant that we may stand, Stars, amid profound Galaxies— At that grand "Right hand"!
