The Impotence of Wisdom to Simplicity

A poem by Emily Dickinson

Art: Her Simplicity by Corinne Vale

Music: Simplicity of the Hill by Elias Fielding

'Nature' is what we see—
The Hill—the Afternoon—
Squirrel—Eclipse—the Bumble bee—
Nay—Nature is Heaven—
Nature is what we hear—
The Bobolink—the Sea—
Thunder—the Cricket—
Nay—Nature is Harmony—
Nature is what we know—
Yet have no art to say—
So impotent Our Wisdom is
To her Simplicity.
