Crumbling is not an instant’s Act
A fundamental pause
Dilapidation’s processes
Are organized Decays —
‘Tis first a Cobweb on the Soul
A Cuticle of Dust
A Borer in the Axis
An Elemental Rust —
Ruin is formal — Devil’s work
Consecutive and slow —
Fail in an instant, no man did
Slipping — is Crash’s law.
Consecutive and slow —
Fail in an instant, no man did
Slipping — is Crash’s law.
Crumbling is not an Instant’s Act, by Emily Dickinson

I find this a wonderfully eloquent post. Your images, Robert, are beautiful but when so perfectly matched with the poetry the effect is extraordinarily moving and thought provoking.
