One need not be a chamber to be haunted.
Emily Dickinson
Image
When I state myself, as the representative of the verse, it does not mean me, but a supposed person.
Emily Dickinson
Image
I never saw a moor, I never saw the sea Yet know I how the heather looks, And what a wave must be. I never spoke with God, Nor visited in Heaven Yet certain am I of the spot, As if a chart were given.
Emily Dickinson
Image
When everything that ticked has stopped, and space stares, all around, or grisly frosts, first autumn morns, repeal the beating ground.
Emily Dickinson
Image
If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
Emily Dickinson
Image
Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all, And sweetest in the gale is heard And sore must be the storm That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm. I've heard it in the chilliest land And on the strangest sea Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me.

I could not prove the Years had feet-/Yet confident they run.
Emily Dickinson
Image
The world allured me & in an unguarded moment I listened to her siren voice. From that moment I seemed to lose interest in heavenly things. Friends reasoned with me & told me of the danger I was in. I felt my danger & was alarmed, but I had rambled too far to return & ever since my heart has been growing harder.

Forever - is composed of Nows - 'Tis not a different time... Let Months dissolve in further Months - And Years - exhale in Years.

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
I had a terror-since September -I could tell to none-and so I sing, as the Boy does by the Burying Ground-because I am afraid.
Emily Dickinson
Image
The friend anguish reveals is the slowest forgot.
Emily Dickinson
Image
That love is all there is, Is all we know of love.
Emily Dickinson
Image
Luck is not chance, it's toil fortune's expensive smile is earned.
Emily Dickinson
Image
a sick room is at times too sacred a place for a friend's knock, timid as that is.
Emily Dickinson
Image
They say that God is everywhere, and yet we always think of Him as somewhat of a recluse.
Emily Dickinson
Image
Hold dear to your parents for it is a scary and confusing world without them.
Emily Dickinson

To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

Some Arrows slay but whom they strike - But this slew all but him - Who so appareled his Escape - Too trackless for a Tomb

Suspense-is Hostiler than Death-Death- tho soever Broad, Is just Death, and cannot increase- Suspense-does not conclude-.
