The Mushroom is the Elf of Plants –
At Evening, it is not –
At Morning, in a Truffled Hut
It stops upon a Spot
As if it tarried always
And yet its whole Career
Is shorter than a Snake's Delay –
And fleeter than a Tare –
'Tis Vegetation's Juggler –
The Germ of Alibi –
Doth like a Bubble antedate
And like a Bubble, hie –
I feel as if the Grass was pleased
To have it intermit –
This surreptitious Scion
Of Summer's circumspect.
Had Nature any supple Face
Or could she one contemn –
Had Nature an apostate –
That Mushroom – it is Him!
– Emily Dickinson (1874)
