A Drunkard cannot meet a Cork
Without a Revery -
And so encountering a Fly
This January Day
Jamaicas of Remembrance stir
That send me reeling in -
The moderate drinker of Delight
Does not deserve the spring -
Of juleps, part are the Jug
And more are in the joy -
Your connoisseur in Liquours
Consults the Bumble Bee -
Poem No. 1628 by Emily Dickinson
There is nothing powerful enough to conjure up spring here, still so far away from Stockholm in January.
The Swedish word for the day is dröm. It means dream.
- by Francis S.
