Beauty -- Be Not Cause -- It Is


Beauty -- Be Not Cause -- It Is
By Emily Dickinson
Beauty -- be not caused -- It Is --
Chase it, and it ceases --
Chase it not, and it abides --

Overtake the Creases

In the Meadow -- when the Wind
Runs his fingers thro' it --
Deity will see to it
That You never do it --

Photograph of Emily Dickinson, seated, at the age of 16
