"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

Beseech.


A little Dog that wags his tail
And knows no other joy
Of such a little Dog am I
Reminded by a Boy

Who gambols all the living Day

Without an earthly cause
Because he is a little Boy
I honestly suppose –

The Cat that in the Corner dwells

Her martial Day forgot
The Mouse but a Tradition now
Of her desireless Lot

Another class remind me

Who neither please nor play
But not to make a "bit of noise"
Beseech each little Boy 

Emily Dickinson
