How strange that nature does knock, and yet does not intrude! ~ Letter to Mrs. J.S. Cooper. We turn, not older with years, but newer every day. The Possible's slow fuse is lit/By the imagination. If I can stop one heart from breaking, / I shall not live in vain./ If I can ease one life from aching,/ Or cool one pain, / Or help one fainting robin/ Unto his nest again,/ I shall not live in vain. ~ If I can stop one heart from breaking Faith--is the pierless bridge supporting what We see unto the scene that we do not. ~ Faith—is the Pierless Bridge
A letter always seemed to me like immortality because it is the mind alone without corporeal friend. ~ Letters of Emily Dickinson A presence of departed acts at window and at door. A wounded dear... leaps the highest. Beauty is not caused. It is. Dying is a wild night and a new road. Tell all the truth but tell it slant. Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough.
I cannot live with You / It would be Life / And Life is over there / Behind the Shelf. ~ I Cannot Live With You
"Truth is such a rare thing, it is delighted to tell it." ~ Emily Dickinson
