An odd little poem...

And on the subject of the last post (somewhat) here's an odd little poem from the wonderful Emily Dickinson and a certainly very beautiful but ethically questionable painting/collage from Damian Hirst.

MY cocoon tightens, colours tease,
I ’m feeling for the air;
A dim capacity for wings
Degrades the dress I wear.
A power of butterfly must be
The aptitude to fly,
Meadows of majesty concedes
And easy sweeps of sky.
So I must baffle at the hint
And cipher at the sign,
And make much blunder, if at last
I take the clew divine.
