I Never Saw A Moor by Emily Dickinson

October 21, 2012 by Dennis Lange

I never saw a Moor –
I never saw the Sea –
Yet know I how the Heather looks
And what a Billow be.

I never spoke with God
Nor visited in Heaven –
Yet certain am I of the spot
As if the Checks were given –

I deduce from this that Heather is Black.

  I hadn’t thought about that, but you just could be right if ED was giving us various shades of meaning. 🙂

  It makes a valid point succinctly.
