Fun w/ Poetry

I'm not usually an Emily Dickinson fan, but someone quoted this poem to me today, and the words seemed to fit exactly how I'm feeling right now.

The going from a world we know
To one a wonder still
Is like the child's adversity
Whose vista is a hill,
Behind the hill is sorcery
And everything unknown,
But will the secret compensate
For climbing it alone?

by Emily Dickinson
