Emily Dickinson poem

[Barque]

A little Madness in the Spring

Is wholesome even for the King,

But God be with the Clown –

Who ponders this tremendous scene –

This whole Experiment of Green –

As if it were his own!

by Emily Dickinson

This seems appropriate given our unseasonably warm weather and closeness to April Fool's Day (Palm Sunday this year). I just finished reading Lives Like Loaded Guns: Emily Dickinson and her family's feuds by Lyndall Gordon.
