Emily Dickinson

"The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience."

"Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality."

"Faith is a fine inventionWhen gentlemen can see,But microscopes are prudentIn an emergency."

"That I shall love always, I argue theethat love is life,and life hath immortality"

"A great hope fellYou heard no noiseThe ruin was within."

"A wounded dear leaps the highest"

"That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet."

"That I shall love always, I argue theethat love is life,and life hath immortality"

"I argue thee that love is life. And life hath immortality."

"The Heart wants what it wants - or else it does not care"

"I argue thee that love is life. And life hath immortality."

"Morning without you is a dwindled dawn."

"Tell all the Truth but tell it slant--Success in Circuit liesToo bright for our infirm DelightThe Truth's superb surpriseAs Lightning to the Children easedWith explanation kindThe Truth must dazzle graduallyOr every man be blind--"

"If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain."

"PHOSPHORESCENCE. Now there's a word to lift your hat to... to find that phosphorescence, that light within, that's the genius behind poetry."

"I argue thee that love is life. And life hath immortality."

"He ate and drank the precious words,His spirit grew robust;He knew no more that he was poor,Nor that his frame was dust.He danced along the dingy days,And this bequest of wingsWas but a book. What libertyA loosened spirit brings!"

"Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all."

"Faith—is the Pierless BridgeSupporting what We seeUnto the Scene that We do not—Too slender for the eyeIt bears the Soul as boldAs it were rocked in SteelWith Arms of Steel at either side—It joins—behind the VeilTo what, could We presumeThe Bridge would cease to beTo Our far, vacillating FeetA first Necessity."

"If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain."
