Summer Dining, Alfresco... Welcome to the 51st Tablescape Thursday! Tablescaping in Blue and White

A Something in a Summer's Day
By Emily Dickinson

A something in a summer’s Day


As slow her flambeaux burn away


Which solemnizes me.


A something in a summer’s noon —


A depth — an Azure — a perfume —


Transcending ecstasy.


And still within a summer’s night


A something so transporting bright (Pillar candle holder available HERE)


I clap my hands to see —


Then veil my too inspecting face


Lets such a subtle — shimmering grace


Flutter too far for me —


The wizard fingers never rest —


The purple brook within the breast


Still chafes it narrow bed —


Still rears the East her amber Flag —


Guides still the sun along the Crag


His Caravan of Red —


So looking on — the night — the morn


Conclude the wonder gay —


And I meet, coming thro’ the dews


Another summer’s Day!
