It Sifts from Leaden Sieves<\/b><\/h3>\n

A winter poem by Emily Dickinson<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

It sifts from leaden sieves,
\nIt powders all the wood,
\nIt fills with alabaster wool
\nThe wrinkles of the road.<\/p>\n

It makes an even face
\nOf mountain and of plain, \u2014
\nUnbroken forehead from the east
\nUnto the east again.<\/p>\n

It reaches to the fence,
\nIt wraps it, rail by rail,
\nTill it is lost in fleeces;
\nIt flings a crystal veil<\/p>\n

On stump and stack and stem, \u2014
\nThe summer\u2019s empty room,
\nAcres of seams where harvests were,
\nRecordless, but for them.<\/p>\n

It ruffles wrists of posts,
\nAs ankles of a queen, \u2014
\nThen stills its artisans like ghosts,
\nDenying they have been.<\/p>\n

As a descendant of both Leif Ericson and Christopher Columbus, the Amer-Norsk-Italian Boitano quite literally has a passion for travel to unexplored locations in his blood. He has traveled to over 56 nations, including Antarctica and the Arctic Circle, as well as lived with a nomadic Basque shepherd family outside of Bakersfield, California for six hours. He brings to Traveling Boy a love of all forms of travel, and a disdain for any lamb food products.","url":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/author\/ed\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4064","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4064"}],"version-history":[{"count":55,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4064\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4066,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4064\/revisions\/4066"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4219"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4064"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4064"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4064"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
