Hope is the Thing With Feathers Poetry Vessel

$250.00

"Hope is the Thing With Feathers Poetry Vessel" is a hand stamped poem by Emily Dickenson upon a stoneware vessel.

This unique sculpture vessel measures 8 1/2" tall, with the vessel 2" wide, and a 3" base.

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -

That perches in the soul -

And sings the tune without the words -

And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -

And sore must be the storm -

That could abash the little Bird

That kept so many warm -

I’ve heard it in the chillest land -

And on the strangest Sea -

Yet - never - in Extremity,

It asked a crumb - of me.

- Emily Dickenson

As you will see in one of the images, there is a painting I created with the inspiration of the same poem. "Emily's Hope"
