How strange that nature does knock, and yet does not intrude! ~ Letter to Mrs. J.S. Cooper.

That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet.

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 soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.

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
