Ah, Teneriffe!
"Ah, Teneriffe!" is a short poem in which Emily Dickinson turns a distant mountain into a silent monarch at the close of day. Sunset reviews her sapphire regiment, and daylight drops a red farewell, yet the peak stands unmoved in its mail of ice, its thigh of granite and thew of steel. Heedless of pomp or parting, it draws only one gesture from the speaker: a quiet, lasting act of reverence. Read it in under a minute.
