1142 The Props assist the House Until the House is built And then the Props withdraw And adequate, ***** The House support itself And cease to recollect The Auger and the Carpenter— Just such a retrospect Hath the perfected Life— A past of Plank and Nail And slowness—then the Scaffolds drop Affirming it a Soul.

The Props assist the House
1142 The Props assist the House Until the House is built And then the Props withdraw And adequate, ***** The House support itself And cease to recollect The Auger and the Carpenter— Just such a retrospect Hath the perfected Life— A past of Plank and Nail And slowness—then the Scaffolds drop Affirming it a Soul.
Emily Dickinson
1830 - 1886/Female/American
