Emily Dic kinson - I never saw a Moor --

I never saw a Moor --
I never saw the Sea --
Yet know I how the Heather looks
And what a Billow be.

I never spoke with God
Nor visited in Heaven --
Yet certain am I of the spot
As if the Chart were given --

One of my favourite poets, often ridiculed but difficult to beat from four lines to epics. I think in the end they thought she was mad! Perhaps we all go this way.
