The Props assist the House Until the House is built And then the Props withdraw And adequate, erect, The House support itself And cease to recollect The Auger and the Carpenter-- Just such a retrospect Hath the perfected Life-- A past of Plank and Nail And slowness—then the Scaffolds drop Affirming it a Soul. "The Props assist the House" by Emily Dickinson
