The Poetry Retreat : Emily Dickinson

Two Butterflies went out at Noon
By Emily Dickinson

Two Butterflies went out at Noon—
And waltzed above a Farm— 
Then stepped straight through the Firmament 
And rested on a Beam— 

And then—together bore away
Upon a shining Sea— 
Though never yet, in any Port— 
Their coming mentioned—be— 

If spoken by the distant Bird—
If met in Ether Sea
By Frigate, or by Merchantman—
No notice—was—to me—

Celestite

A gemstone of delicate blue tones, the Celestite is my association with Emily Dickinson. They say that it’s the stuff of dreams, and keeping it on your nightstand will boost the quality of your sleep. Just by looking at it, you feel an inner peace that elevates your spirit, and lifts your vibration. Celestite is famous for connecting you to your Angel guides. Whether you believe in them or not, think of Emily Dickinson as an Angel guiding us through poetry, and your view of the Celestite will be forever changed.

Sweet Osmanthus Green Tea

A light and floral tea, to get us walzing with Miss Dickinson. Sweet Osmanthus Green Tea is a  blend of Chinese legends, mentioned for over 300 years, mixing the delicate osmanthus flower and the fresh green tea.  A pale yellow infusion, a very subtle tannin and the most wonderful perfume of soft petals. If Jasmine Green Tea smells of summer, then Osmanthus Green Tea is the perfect spring taste. An elegant tea that Emily Dickinson would have enjoyed, I’m sure.
