He fumbles at your spirit As players at the keys Before they drop full music on He stuns you by degrees. Prepares your brittle substance For the ethereal blow by fainter hammers, further heard, Then nearer, then so slow Your breath has time to straighten Your brain to bubble cool,- Deals one imperial thunderbolt That scalps your naked soul.

The Truth never flaunted a sign.

Anger as soon as fed is dead- 'Tis starving makes it fat.
Emily Dickinson

When everything that ticked has stopped, and space stares, all around, or grisly frosts, first autumn morns, repeal the beating ground.

Dreams are the subtle Dower That make us rich an Hour Then fling us poor Out of the purple door.
