"Emily Dickinson" House in Amsterdam

Emily Dickinson House
Emily Dickinson House
Originally uploaded by abostick59.
In Amsterdam, on Marnixstraat where it crosses the Leidsegracht canal, is a house which is decorated with verse by Emily Dickinson. It isn't noted in the tourguides. Debbie had heard about it from a friend at her work who had seen it.

It has no significance except that someone once thought it would be a neat thing to do to adorn the side of their house with this verse:

To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee.
One clover and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few.

The house is attractive, but the idea is just lovely. And so is the poem.
