Emily Dickinson - Faith is a fine invention - Great Poems

"Faith is a fine invention" is a short poem by the American Poet Emily Dickinson (1830 – 1886).
Emily Dickinson attempts to define "Faith". As a keen observer of life, she trusts her senses, and clearly believes in empiricism, favoring "microscopes" (science) over blind faith.
This poem also contains a paradox: the speaker says "Faith" is fine when one can see it—that is, use one's senses—but if one can use his or her senses then one doesn't need to rely on faith. By asserting that faith, which is belief in things unseen, is acceptable only when one can see and examine things, she is really saying that blind faith is unacceptable.

"Faith" is a fine invention
When Gentlemen can see--
But Microscopes are prudent
In an Emergency.
