The Preacher

________________________________________________
Title:     The Preacher
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

He preached upon "breadth" till it argued him narrow, --
The broad are too broad to define;
And of "truth" until it proclaimed him a liar, --
The truth never flaunted a sign.

Simplicity fled from his counterfeit presence
As gold the pyrites would shun.
What confusion would cover the innocent Jesus
To meet so enabled a man!

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Preacher
