the going






Exultation is the going
Of an inland soul to sea,
Past the houses - past the headlands -
Into deep Eternity -

Bred as we, among the mountains,
Can the sailor understand
The divine intoxication 
Of the first league out from land?



~ Emily Dickinson 
from Emily Dickenson - Complete Poems
