==================================


poet Emily Dickinson


Exultation is the going
Of an inland soul to sea,
Past the houses—past the headlands—
Into deep Eternity—

Bred as we, among the mountains,
Can the sailor understand
The divine intoxication
Of the first league out from land?
Emily Dickinson

 (from memory)
 Exultation is the going of the inland soul to sea
 past the mountains and the headlands into deep eternity
 Born as we among the mountains can the sailor understand
 the sublime intoxication of the first league out from land?
 
 (Browning, I think.)
