Emily Dickinson, "I dwell in possibility" (#657)
I dwell in Possibility--
A fairer House than Prose--
More numerous of Windows--
Superior--for Doors--
Of Chambers as the Cedars--
Impregnable of Eye--
And for an Everlasting Roof
The Gambrels of the Sky--
Of Visitors--the fairest--
For Occupation--This--
The spreading wide my narrow Hands
To gather Paradise—

Nothing Gold Can Stay
By Robert Frost
Nature's first green is gold
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

This is Just to Say
By William Carlos Williams
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

Whether a long-term agreement is reached or something less is
patched together, the point would not be to prevent a nuclear
breakout, which is impossible, but to ensure that the West
would detect it in a timely manner and could disrupt it (and that
Iran would understood that to be the case). This is the crucial
7. point. As noted, “The West -- the world, really -- needs to be
confident that there would be a gap of at least two or three
months between prohibited activities being detected and nuclear
weapons actually appearing” (Jervis, 2013).
In-text Citations
