Frasi Emily Dickinson
Today or this noon
She dwelt so close
I almost touched her
Tonight she lies
Past neighborhood
And bough and steeple
Now past surmise.
They shut me up in Prose -
As when a little Girl
They put me in the Closet -
Because they liked me "still" -
Still! Could themself have peeped -
And seen my Brain - go round -
They might as ...
I can wade Grief -
Whole Pools of it -
I'm used to that -
But the least push of Joy
Breaks up my feet -
And I tip - drunken -
Let no Pebble - smile -
'Twas the New Liquor -
That was all!
Power is only...
It sounded as if the streets were running
And then - the streets stood still -
Eclipse - was all we could see at the Window
And Awe - was all we could feel.
By and by - the boldest stole out of his Co...
Si dice che chi sa far felici gli altri ? un Santo. Alora ? forse questo l'arduo compito degli angeli?
A doubt if it be Us
Assists the staggering Mind
In an extremer Anguish
Until it footing find -
An Unreality is lent,
A merciful Mirage
That makes the living possible
While it suspends the lives.
You're right - "the way is narrow" -
And "difficult the Gate" -
And "few there be" - Correct again -
That "enter in - thereat" -
'Tis Costly - So are purples!

His Heart was darker than the starless night
For that there is a morn
But in this black Receptacle
Can be no Bode of Dawn.
How fortunate the Grave -
All Prizes to obtain -
Successful certain, if at last,
First Suitor not in vain.
Teach Him - When He makes the names -
Such an one - to say -
On his babbling - Berry - lips -
As should sound - to me -
Were my Ear - as near his nest -
As my thought - today -
As should sound -
"...
I'm ceded - I've stopped being Their's -
The name They dropped upon my face
With water, in the country church
Is finished using, now,
And They can put it with my Dolls,
My childhood, and the string of...
That I did always love
I bring thee Proof
That till I loved
I never lived - Enough -
That I shall love alway -
I argue thee
That love is life -
And life hath Immortality -
This - dost thou doubt - Sw...
Departed - to the Judgment -
A Mighty - Afternoon -
Great Clouds - like Ushers - leaning -
Creation - looking on -
The Flesh - Surrendered - Cancelled -
The Bodiless - begun -
Two Worlds - like Audien...
The Sun - just touched the Morning -
The Morning - Happy thing -
Supposed that He had come to dwell -
And Life would all be Spring!
She felt herself supreme -
A Raised - Ethereal Thing!
Henceforth - f...
We learned the Whole of Love -
The Alphabet - the Words -
A Chapter - then the mighty Book -
Then - Revelation closed -
But in Each Other's eyes
An Ignorance beheld -
Diviner than the Childhood's
And ...
By homely gifts and hindered words
The human heart is told
Of nothing -
"Nothing" is the force
That renovates the World.
A Solemn thing within the Soul
To feel itself get ripe -
And golden hang - while farther up -
The Maker's Ladders stop -
And in the Orchard far below -
You hear a Being - drop -
A Wonderful - to feel ...
Each Scar I'll keep for Him
Instead I'll say of Gem
In His long Absence worn
A Costlier One
But every Tear I bore
Were He to count them o'er
His own would fall so more
I'll missum them.
South winds jostle them -
Bumblebees come -
Hover - hesitate -
Drink, and are gone -
Butterflies pause
On their passage Cashmere -
I - softly plucking,
Present them here!
Long Years apart - can make no
Breach a second cannot fill -
The absence of the Witch does not
Invalidate the spell -
The embers of a Thousand Years
Uncovered by the Hand
That fondled them when they w...
The Test of Love - is Death -
Our Lord - "so loved" - it saith -
What Largest Lover - hath
Another - doth -
If smaller Patience - be -
Through less Infinity -
If Bravo, sometimes swerve -

The Road was lit with Moon and star -
The Trees were bright and still -
Descried I - by -the distant Light
A traveller on a Hill -
To magic Perpendiculars
Ascending, though terrene -
Unknown his shimm...
Kill your Balm - and it's Odors bless you -
Bare your Jessamine - to the storm -
And she will fling her maddest perfume -
Haply - your Summer night to Charm -
Stab the Bird - that built in your bosom ...
Why make it doubt - it hurts it so -
So sick - to guess -
So strong - to know -
So brave - upon it's little Bed
To tell the very last They said
Unto Itself - and smile - And shake -
For that dear - di...
She died - this was the way she died.
And when her breath was done
Took up her simple wardrobe
And started for the sun -
Her little figure at the gate
The Angels must have spied,
Since I could never f...
