    My favourite ever poem:

    The sparrow dips in his wheel-rut bath,
    The sun grows passionate-eyed,
    And boils the dew to smoke by the paddock-path;
    As strenuously we stride, —
    Five of us; dark He, fair He, dark She, fair She, I,
    All beating by.

    The air is shaken, the high-road hot,
    Shadowless swoons the day,
    The greens are sobered and cattle at rest; but not
    We on our urgent way, —
    Four of us; fair She, dark She, fair He, I, are there,
    But one - elsewhere.

    Autumn moulds the hard fruit mellow,
    And forward still we press
    Through moors, briar-meshed plantations, clay-pits yellow,
    As in the spring hours - yes,
    Three of us; fair He, fair She, I, as heretofore,
    But - fallen one more.

    The leaf drops: earthworms draw it in
    At night-time noiselessly,
    The fingers of birch and beech are skeleton-thin
    And yet on the beat are we, —
    Two of us; fair She, I. But no more left to go
    The track we know.

    Icicles tag the church-aisle leads,
    The flag-rope gibbers hoarse,
    The home-bound foot-folk wrap their snow-flaked heads,
    Yet I still stalk the course —
    One of us..... Dark and fair He, dark and fair She, gone:
    The rest - anon.

    Those - dying then,
    knew where they went-
    They went to God's right hand-
    That hand is amputated now
    And God cannot be found-

    The abdication of Belief
    Makes the Behaviour small-
    Better an ignis fatous
    Than no illume at all-


    Emily Dickinson
