A soft Sea washed around the House
A Sea of Summer Air
And rose and fell the magic Planks
That sailed without a care --
For Captain was the Butterfly
For Helmsman was the Bee
And an entire universe
For the delighted crew.
(The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson)

Shall make discovery.

To thinking of mankind.
