A description of the experience
The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson – Emily Dickinson
I like to see it lap the miles
And lick the valleys up
And stop to feed itself in tanks
And then prodigious step
Around a pile of mountains
And supercilious peer
In shanties by the sides of roads
And then a quarry pare
To fit its ribs
And crawl between
Complaining all the while
In horrid hooting stanza
Then chase itself down hill
And neigh like Boanerges
Then punctual as a star
Stop docile and omnipotent
At its own stable door
