“Lethe” in my flower,
Of which they who drink
In the fadeless orchards
Hear the bobolink!
Of which they who drink
In the fadeless orchards
Hear the bobolink!
Merely flake or petal
As the Eye beholds
Jupiter! my father!
I perceive the rose!
As the Eye beholds
Jupiter! my father!
I perceive the rose!
Emily Dickinson
Today Emily is a daughter of Jupiter and drinks a drop of elixir “Lethe”
Those who drink of Dew
In my flower,
Hear the bobolink
In the eternal orchards
In my flower,
Hear the bobolink
In the eternal orchards
Jupiter! My father!
As the Eye beholds
Merely flake or petal
Looks like the rose!
As the Eye beholds
Merely flake or petal
Looks like the rose!
“Lethe” is sacred water. Drinkers can forget every painful past.
