I never saw a moor, I never saw the sea Yet know I how the heather looks, And what a wave must be. I never spoke with God, Nor visited in heaven Yet certain am I of the spot As if the chart were given. (Emily Dickinson)

I never saw a moor, I never saw the sea Yet know I how the heather looks, And what a wave must be. I never spoke with God, Nor visited in heaven Yet certain am I of the spot As if the chart were given.
