League of Inveterate Poets

The out-of-context contextuality of a foolish sage


Exultation

Posted By Foolish Sage on November 2, 2009

Exultation is the going
Of an island soul to sea,

Past the houses–
Past the headlands–into deep Eternity–

Bred as we, among the mountains,
Can the sailor understand
The divine intoxication
Of the first league out from land?

- Emily Dickinson

  1. My favorite ED! And of course, you got the word “league” in there (albeit a different definition). ;o)

  2. I truly hadn't even thought of that. Maybe it will help my SEO ;-)
