Explore "If the Foolish Call them Flowers" by Emily Dickinson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
If the foolish call them 'flowers,' / Need the wiser tell?
If the savans 'classify' them, / It is just as well!
Those who read the Revelations / Must not criticise / Those who read the same edition / With beclouded eyes!
Could we stand with that old Moses / Canaan denied, -- / Scan, like him, the stately landscape / On the other side, --
Doubtless we should deem superfluous / Many sciences / Not pursued by learnèd angels / In scholastic skies!
Low amid that glad _Belles lettres_ / Grant that we may stand, / Stars, amid profound Galaxies, / At that grand 'Right hand'!
