Emily Dickinson Quotes

There’s been a death in the opposite house

I looked in windows, for the wealth I could not hope to own.

Had I not seen the sun
I could’ve borne the shade
but light a newer wilderness
my wilderness has made —

Ningún cepo puede torturarme – mi alma – en libertad – debajo de este hueso mortal teje uno más audaz – No puedes serrucharlo – ni atravesarlo con la espada – dos cuerpos – hay – ata uno – el otro vuela – El águila de su nido no se aleja más fácil – y gana el cielo que lo que tu podrías – Excepto que seas tu propio enemigo – la prisión está en la conciencia – así como la libertad.

You left me, sweet, two legacies, — A legacy of love A Heavenly Father would content, Had he the offer of; You left me boundaries of pain Capacious as the sea, Between eternity and time, Your consciousness and me. — Emily Dickinson

How a small dusk crawls on the village

When bumble-bees in solemn flight

A single Screw of Flesh
Is all that pins the Soul
That stands for Deity, to Mine,
Upon my side the Veil –

Once witnessed of the Gauze –
Its name is put away
As far from mine, as if no plight

In tender – solemn Alphabet,
My eyes just turned to see,
When it was smuggled by my sight
Into Eternity –

More Hands – to hold – These are but Two –
One more new-mailed Nerve
Just granted, for the Peril's sake –
Some striding – Giant – Love –

So greater than the Gods can show,
They slink before the Clay,
That not for all their Heaven can boast
Will let its Keepsake – go

You left me boundaries of pain / Capacious as the sea, / Between eternity and time, / Your consciousness and me.

I felt a funeral in my brain,

It dropped so low in my regard I heard it hit the ground, And go to pieces on the stones At bottom of my mind; Yet

Oh, what an afternoon for heaven, When ‘Brontë’ entered there!
