527 <br /> <br />To put this World down, like a Bundle— <br />And walk steady, away, <br />Requires Energy—possibly Agony— <br />'Tis the Scarlet way <br /> <br />Trodden with straight renunciation <br />By the Son of God— <br />Later, his faint Confederates <br />Justify the Road— <br /> <br />Flavors of that old Crucifixion— <br />Filaments of Bloom, Pontius Pilate sowed— <br />Strong Clusters, from Barabbas' Tomb— <br /> <br />Sacrament, Saints partook before us— <br />Patent, every drop, <br />With the Brand of the Gentile Drinker <br />Who indorsed the Cup—<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-put-this-world-down-like-a-bundle/
