If I can stop one heart from breaking,
.
I shall not live in vain;
.
If I can ease one life the aching,
.
Or cool one pain,
.
Or help one fainting robin
.
Unto his nest again,
.
I shall not live in vain.
.
Emily Dickinson
'Dew of Hermon', is taken from a line in Psalm 133. The writer of that ancient song enthused about how good it is when people live together in unity,and compares it poetically to the dew of Hermon descending upon the mountains of Zion. In that spirit it is hoped these scribblings will be more refreshing mountain dew, than obscurantist valley fog, where a weary Pilgrim might be refreshed and replenished for the journey ahead.
