Emily Dickinson Again

The mob within the heart
Police cannot suppress
The riot given at the first
Is authorized as peace
Uncertified of scene
Or signified of sound
But growing like a hurricane
In a congenial ground

- Emily Dickinson (1745) from The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson edited by Thomas H. Johnson 1960
