"When you come home, darling, I shant have your letters, but I shall have yourself, which is more — oh more, and better, than I can even think! I sit… - Emily Dickinson

"When you come home, darling, I shant have your letters, but I shall have yourself, which is more — oh more, and better, than I can even think! I sit here with my little whip, cracking the time away, 'till not an hour is left of it- then you are here! And joy is here — joy now and forevermore! Tis only a few days, Susie, it will soon go away, yet I say, "go now, this very moment, for I need her- I must have her, oh, give her to me!" Sometimes when I do feel so, I think it may be wrong, and that God will punish me by taking you away; for He is very kind to let me write to you, and to give me your sweet letters, but my heart wants more."
