Hope is a strange invention

by Emily Dickinson

Hope is a strange invention
A Patent of the Heart
In unremitting action
Yet never wearing out

Of this electric Adjunct
Not anything is known
But its unique momentum
Embellish all we own

How simple, yet elegant. The Belle of Amherst had a rare gift, recognized only after she had parted ways with this crasser world.

Thanks for keeping her words alive, my friend.
