"If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain."
"There's a certain slant of light,On winter afternoons,That oppresses, like the weightOf cathedral tunes."
"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!"
"The bustle in a houseThe morning after deathIs solemnest of industriesEnacted upon earth,--The sweeping up the heart,And putting love awayWe shall not want to use againUntil eternity"
"To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else."
