Renunciation -- is a piercing Virtue -- <br />The letting go <br />A Presence -- for an Expectation -- <br />Not now -- <br />The putting out of Eyes -- <br />Just Sunrise -- <br />Lest Day -- <br />Day's Great Progenitor -- <br />Outvie <br />Renunciation -- is the Choosing <br />Against itself -- <br />Itself to justify <br />Unto itself -- <br />When larger function -- <br />Make that appear -- <br />Smaller -- that Covered Vision -- Here --<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/renunciation-2/
