"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Going.

Some keep the Sabbath going to the Church —
I keep it, staying at Home -



With a Bobolink for a Chorister —
And an Orchard, for a Dome --


Some keep the Sabbath in Surplice —
I just wear my Wings --



And instead of tolling the Bell, for Church,
Our little Sexton — sings.



God preaches, a noted Clergyman —
And the sermon is never long,



So instead of getting to Heaven, at last —
I'm going, all along.


- Emily Dickinson

Thank you very much, Jess.
