God is indeed a jealous God — He cannot bear to see

But with each other play.

About Emily Dickinson

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886) was an American poet. Virtually unknown in her lifetime, Dickinson has come to be regarded as one of the greatest American poets of the 19th century. Although she wrote (at latest count) 1789 poems, only a few of them were published in her lifetime, all anonymously, and some perhaps without her knowledge.

Additional quotes by Emily Dickinson

Success is counted sweetest by those ne'er succeed.

THE soul should always stand ajar,
That if the heaven inquire,
He will not be obliged to wait,
Or shy of troubling her.

Depart, before the host has slid
The bolt upon the door,
To seek for the accomplished guest, — Her visitor no more.

In this short life, that only last an hour merely. How much how little is within our power.

God is indeed a jealous God — He cannot bear to see That we had rather not with Him But with each other play. - Emily Dickinson
