Success is counted sweetest by those who ne'er succeed...
Today‘s edition of Reading Obstacles™️
Something about the tone of Dickinson‘s poems has always bothered me but I thought I would give her another shot. This is the first poem in the collection that I have liked.
“Hope” is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all

"I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,
And Mourners to and fro
Kept treading - treading - till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through -
And when they all were seated,
A Service, like a Drum -
Kept beating - beating - till I thought
My mind was going numb -
