A wounded dear leaps the highest - Emily Dickinson
"A wounded dear leaps the highest"
"A wounded dear leaps the highest"
"A great hope fellYou heard no noiseThe ruin was within."
"I died for beauty but was scarceAdjusted in the tomb,When one who died for truth was lainIn an adjoining room.He questioned softly why I failed?"For beauty,"I replied."And I for truth, the two are one;We brethren are,"he said.And so, as kinsmen met a night,We talked between the rooms,Until the moss had reached our lips,And covered up our names."
"If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain."
"To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else."
"Success is counted sweetest by those who never succeed."
