BEFORE CHRISTMAS

PREPARATION...

Before the ice is in the pools,
Before the skaters go,
Or any cheek at nightfall
Is tarnished by the snow,
Before the fields have finished,
Before the Christmas tree,
Wonder upon wonder
Will arrive to me!

Emily Dickinson

Im not sure what to make of Emily's work. I really need to spend some more time in it.
