Good to hide, and hear 'em hunt! - Emily Dickinson

842

Good to hide, and hear 'em hunt!
Better, to be found,
If one care to, that is,
The Fox fits the Hound—

Good to know, and not tell,
Best, to know and tell,
Can one find the rare Ear
Not too dull—

JUST READ "GOOD TO HIDE, AND HEAR 'EM HUNT!" AND WOW, THIS POEM REALLY MAKES YA THINK! THE LINE "THE FOX FITS THE HOUND" CAPTURES THE GIST WITH A GRIPPING TWIST. LOVE THE WORD PLAY - IT'S BOTH DEEP AND SUBTLE. SPEAKS ABOUT SECRETS, THEM MUST HUNT FOR TRUTH KINDA VIBE. GOOD STUFF, REALLY RESONATED WITH ME!
