Daily Lectio Divina: To tell the beauty would decrease

Daily Lectio Divina: To tell the beauty would decrease

Episode 617

In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re continuing our series on Life, Eternity, and Hope using selections from the reclusive American poet Emily Dickinson. Today we’re reading “To tell the beauty would decrease.”

To tell the beauty would decrease,
To state the Spell demean,
There is a syllableless sea
Of which it is the sign.

My will endeavours for its word
And fails, but entertains
A rapture as of legacies––
Of introspective mines.
