Letter 220 (about 1860 - Franklin: early 1861) Samuel Bowles lyrics
by Emily Dickinson
Dear Mr Bowles.
Thank you.
"Faith" is a fine invention
When Gentlemen can see -
But Microscopes are prudent
In an Emergency.
You spoke of the "East." I have thought about it this winter.
Dont you think you and I should be shrewder, to take the Mountain Road?
That Bareheaded life - under the grass - worries one like a Wasp.
The Rose is for Mary.
Emily.
