To Tell The Beauty Would Decrease, By: Emily Dickinson

October 10, 2026 by Editors

pc

To tell the beauty would decrease,
To state the Spell demean,
There is a syllableless sea
Of which it is the sign.

My will endeavours for its word
And fails, but entertains
A rapture as of legacies—
Of introspective mines.
