Here is Emily Dickinson's poem...
the inspiration for "Sufficient Phaeton"
"Unto Me?" I do not know you—
Where may be your House?
"I am Jesus— Late of Judea—
Now— of Paradise"—
Wagons— have you— to convey me?
This is far from Thence—
"Arms of Mine— sufficient Phaeton—
Trust Omnipotence"—
I am spotted— "I am Pardon"—
I am small— "The Least
is esteemed in Heaven the Chiefest—
Occupy my House"
-Emily Dickinson #964
This little fellow has such expressive hands, I love him even more.

Ah...now I see the connection.
ReplyDeleteWhat an unusual name...Phaeton
We had a 1936 Phaeton car! A rare convertible.
But Sufficent Phaeton...sounds like a character from the Phantom of the Opera.
And I am intrigued by Emily Dickinson's poems.
What a mind she had in making the mundane seem important.
