God gave a loaf to every bird, But just a crumb to me.
Emily Dickinson
Image
Truth - is as old as God-.
Emily Dickinson
Image
I would paint a portrait which would bring the tears, had I canvas for it, and the scene should be -- solitude, and the figures -- solitude -- and the lights and shades, each a solitude.
Emily Dickinson

Exultation is the going Of an inland soul to sea Past the houses, past the headlands Into deep eternity! Bred as we, among the mountains Can the sailor understand The divine intoxication Of the first league out from land?
Emily Dickinson

This is my letter to the world That never wrote to me
Emily Dickinson
Image
Faith—is the Pierless Bridge Supporting what We see Unto the Scene that We do not— Too slender for the eye It bears the Soul as bold As it were rocked in Steel With Arms of Steel at either side— It joins—behind the Veil To what, could We presume The Bridge would cease to be To Our far, vacillating Feet A first Necessity.

Emily Dickinson
Image
The morns are meeker than they were, The nuts are getting brown The berry's cheek is plumper, The rose is out of town. The maple wears a gayer scarf, The field a scarlet gown. Lest I should be old-fashioned, I'll put a trinket on.
Emily Dickinson
Image
How do most people live without any thought? There are many people in the world,--you must have noticed them in the street,--how do they live? How do they get strength to put on their clothes in the morning?
Emily Dickinson
Image
March is the month of expectation, The things we do not know, The Persons of Prognostication Are coming now. We try to sham becoming firmness, But pompous joy Betrays us, as his first betrothal Betrays a boy.
Emily Dickinson
Image
To see the Summer Sky Is Poetry, though never in a Book it lie— True Poems flee—
Emily Dickinson
Image
To possess is past the instant we achieve the joy, immortality contented, were anomaly.
Emily Dickinson
Image
For love is immortality.
Emily Dickinson
Image
By Chivalries as tiny, A Blossom, or a Book, The seeds of smiles are planted- Which Blossom in the dark.

If Aims impel these Astral Ones The ones allowed to know Know that which makes them as forgot As Dawn forgets them now
