A shady friend for torrid days <br />Is easier to find <br />Than one of higher temperature <br />For frigid hour of mind. <br /> <br />The vane a little to the east <br />Scares muslin souls away; <br />If broadcloth breasts are firmer <br />Than those of organdy, <br /> <br />Who is to blame? The weaver? <br />Ah! the bewildering thread! <br />The tapestries of paradise! <br />So notelessly are made!<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-shady-friend-for-torrid-days/
