Hold dear to your parents for it is a scary and confusing world without them.
Emily Dickinson
Image
The lovely flowers embarrass me. They make me regret I am not a bee.
Emily Dickinson
Image
As Summer into Autumn slips And yet we sooner say The Summer than the Autumn, lest We turn the sun away, And almost count it an Affront The presence to concede Of one however lovely, not The one that we have loved - So we evade the charge of Years On one attempting shy The Circumvention of the Shaft Of Life's Declivity.
Emily Dickinson
Image
Had we less to say to those we love, perhaps we should say it oftener.
Emily Dickinson

The steeples swam in amethyst, the news like squirrels swam.

The possible's slow fuse is lit by the Imagination.

And you dropt, lost, When something broke-- And let you from a Dream
Emily Dickinson

There's a certain Slant of light, Winter afternoons— That oppresses, like the Heft Of Cathedral Tunes— Heavenly Hurt, it gives us— We can find no scar, But internal difference, Where the Meanings, are.... When it comes, the Landscape listens— Shadows—hold their breath— When it goes, 'tis like the Distance On the look of Death.

PHOSPHORESCENCE. Now there's a word to lift your hat to... to find that phosphorescence, that light within, that's the genius behind poetry.
