168 <br /> <br />If the foolish, call them "flowers"— <br />Need the wiser, tell? <br />If the Savants "Classify" them <br />It is just as well! <br /> <br />Those who read the "Revelations" <br />Must not criticize <br />Those who read the same Edition— <br />With beclouded Eyes! <br /> <br />Could we stand with that Old "Moses"— <br />"Canaan" denied— <br />Scan like him, the stately landscape <br />On the other side— <br /> <br />Doubtless, we should deem superfluous <br />Many Sciences, <br />Not pursued by learned Angels <br />In scholastic skies! <br /> <br />Low amid that glad Belles lettres <br />Grant that we may stand, <br />Stars, amid profound Galaxies— <br />At that grand "Right hand"!<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-the-foolish-call-them/
