Monday Motivator: Powder Exists in Charcoal

A Man May Make a Remark
by Emily Dickinson

A man may make a remark ?
In itself ? a quiet thing
That may furnish the fuse unto a spark
In dormant nature ? lain ?

Let us deport ? with skill ?
Let us discourse ? with care ?
Powder exists in charcoal ?
Before it exists in fire.

Now change “man” to “artist”.
Then “remark” to “mark”.
