Jet lag and hunger

The Dickinsonian oracle is coming back to life, while we at Brightly try to shake off the jet lag and get over the sadness of having no fresh croissants for breakfast. Nor pain aux raisins. Zut alors.

On this festive, cool July 4, the Dickinsonian oracle offers this:

Further in Summer than the Birds -
Pathetic from the Grass -
A minor Nation celebrates
It's unobtrusive Mass.

No Ordinance be seen -
So gradual the Grace
A gentle Custom it becomes -
Enlarging Loneliness -
(E. Dickinson, from 895)
