Hope is the thing with feathers

As many of you know I love a feather and I was recently reminded of this poem by Emily Dickinson. It inspired me to get the scissors out and make some paper feathers. 

“Hope” is the thing with feathers  

That perches in the soul,

And sings the tune without the words,

And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard; 

And sore must be the storm 

That could abash the little bird

That kept so many warm. 

I’ve heard it in the chillest land,

And on the strangest sea;

Yet, never, in extremity,

It asked a crumb of me.
