Analysis of Strong Draughts of Their Refreshing Minds
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
Strong Draughts of Their Refreshing Minds
To drink—enables Mine
Through Desert or the Wilderness
As bore it Sealed Wine—
To go elastic—Or as One
The Camel's trait—attained—
How powerful the Stimulus
Of an Hermetic Mind—
