Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
A description of the experience
Emily Dickinson – from The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson
Of being is a bird
The likest to the down
An easy breeze do put afloat
The general heavens upon
It soars and shifts and whirls
And measures with the clouds
In easy even dazzling pace
No different the birds
Except a wake of music
Accompany their feet
As did the down emit a tune
For ecstasy of it
The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson – Emily Dickinson
Her smile was shaped like other smiles
The dimples ran along
And still it hurt you as some bird
Did hoist herself to song
Then recollect a ball she got
And hold upon the twig
Convulsive while the music broke
Like beads among the bog
