If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire... - Emily Dickinson
"If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry."
"If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry."
"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."
"I argue thee that love is life. And life hath immortality."
"A great hope fellYou heard no noiseThe ruin was within."
"If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain."
"That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet."
