Nine months and one day before Emily Dickinson was born


Notable for her punctuation - and too for her punctuality -

***
#415, by Emily Dickinson (c. 1862)

Sunset at Night - is natural -
But Sunset on the Dawn
Reverses Nature - Master -
So Midnight's - due - at Noon.

Eclipses be - predicted -
And Science bows them in -
But do one face us suddenly -
Jehovah's Watch - is wrong.

Thinking of you, from Amherst...
