A still – Volcano – Life –
That flickered in the night –
When it was dark enough to do
Without erasing sight –
A quiet – Earthquake Style –
Too subtle to suspect
By natures this side Naples –
The North cannot detect
The Solemn – Torrid – Symbol –
The lips that never lie –
Whose hissing Corals part – and shut –
And Cities – ooze away –
(Emily Dickinson)
