One Day is there of the Series
One Day is there of the Series
Termed Thanksgiving Day.
Celebrated part at Table
Part in Memory.
Neither Patriarch nor Pussy
I dissect the Play
Seems it to my Hooded thinking
Reflex Holiday.
Had there been no sharp Subtraction
From the early Sum--
Not an Acre or a Caption
Where was once a Room--
Not a Mention, whose small Pebble
Wrinkled any Sea,
Unto Such, were such Assembly
'Twere Thanksgiving Day.
--Emily Dickinson
Happy Thanksgiving! This day I am thankful for you.

I love that you gave me some "Emily joy" today :) I never tire of her verse. It speaks to me differently each time I get the chance to read her lines.
Happy Thanksgiving dear friend!
Kelly - I have been in love with Emily Dickinson since middle school and I am so happy to share this poem with you today.
Love I send you and yours, my friend, on this Thanksgiving Day!
