I like to see it lap the miles,

And lick the valleys up,

And stop to feed itself at 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 sides

And crawl between

Complaining all the while

In horrid, hooting stanza;

Then chase itself downhill

And neigh like Boanerges

Then, punctual as a star,

Stop-docile and omnipotent

At its own stable door.

Emily Dickinson

1862
