Happy New Year from Emily Dickinson

The most triumphant Bird I ever knew or met 
Embarked upon a twig today 
And till Dominion set
I famish to behold so eminent a sight 
And sang for nothing scrutable
But intimate Delight. 
Retired, and resumed his transitive Estate– 
To what delicious Accident
Does finest Glory fit! 

– Emily Dickinson, 1894
