Our lives are Swiss -- <br />So still -- so Cool -- <br />Till some odd afternoon <br />The Alps neglect their Curtains <br />And we look farther on! <br /> <br />Italy stands the other side! <br />While like a guard between -- <br />The solemn Alps -- <br />The siren Alps <br />Forever intervene!<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-lives-are-swiss/
