    peaceful wisdom

    I have great respect for the simple wisdom in emily dickinson,s poetry. I also admire the work of Conrad Aiken who was largely responsible for bringing Dickinson's work to a wider audience. The website should have his poem Annihilation which is my favourite and has to be read without breathing.

    Stand on your office desk and wave your hands in the air

    This poem is so easy to remember because you can picture each line as the story enfolds. 'and a bird flew up out of the turret, above the travellers head' you can see it flying away. Then he bangs on the door a second time and shouts but there's no answer.
    I wonder who asked the traveller to call. He kept his word. He was a man of honour.
    A terrific piece.
