Helen Vendler analyses a little poem by Emily Dickinson:
In the name of the Bee -
And of the Butterfly -
And of the Breeze - Amen!
She says: First, the poem invents the idea of a parody of a Christian form of  words, while retaining a trace of its source in its closing “Amen.” And  second: the poet decides on the three nouns to be substituted for the  three Persons of the Trinity. And third: the poet has to make her  trinity of nouns “mean something” in relation to one another (as Father,  Son, and Holy Spirit are related).
From The Teachings of Silvanus: "Do not be a sausage which is full of useless things."
