Frasi Emily Dickinson
To his simplicity
To die - was little Fate -
If Duty live - contented
But her Confederate.
Delayed till she had ceased to know -
Delayed till in it's vest of snow
Her loving bosom lay -
An hour behind the fleeting breath -
Later by just an hour than Death -
Oh lagging Yesterday!
Could she h...
Summer - we all have seen -
A few of us - believed -
A few - the more aspiring
Unquestionably loved -
But Summer does not care -
She takes her gracious way
As eligible as the Moon
To the Temerity -

Flowers - Well - if anybody
Can the extasy define -
Half a transport - half a trouble -
With which flowers humble men:
Anybody find the fountain
From which floods so contra flow -
I will give him all ...
Unable are the Loved to die
For Love is Immortality,
Nay, it is Deity -
Unable they that love - to die
For Love reforms Vitality
Into Divinity.
Ah, Moon - and Star!
You are very far -
But were no one
Farther than you -
Do you think I'd stop
For a Firmament -
Or a Cubit - or so?
I could borrow a Bonnet
Of the Lark -
And a Chamois' Silver Boot ...
A Dew sufficed itself -
And satisfied a Leaf
And thought "How vast a Destiny"!
"How trivial is Life!"
The Sun went out to work -
The Day went out to play -
But not again that Dew b...
My life closed twice before it's close;
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me,
So huge, so hopeless to conceive
As these that twice befell.
Parting is all we know of heaven,
...
She dealt her pretty words like Blades -
How glittering they shone -
And every One unbared a Nerve
Or wantoned with a Bone -
She never deemed - she hurt -
That - is not Steel's Affair -
A vulgar grima...
It always felt to me - a wrong
To that Old Moses - done -
To let him see - the Canaan -
Without the entering -
And tho' in soberer moments -
No Moses there can be
I'm satisfied - the Romance
In point ...
Myself was formed - a Carpenter -
An unpretending time
My Plane - and I, together wrought
Before a Builder came -
To measure our attainments -
Had we the Art of Boards
Sufficiently developed - He'd hi...
The sweetest Heresy received
That Man and Woman know -
Each Other's Convert -
Though the Faith accommodate but Two -
The Churches are so frequent -
The Ritual - so small -
The Grace so unavoidable -

Of Paul and Silas it is said
There were in Prison laid
But when they went to take them out
They were not there instead.
Security the same insures
To our assaulted minds -
The staple must be optional

Reverse cannot befall
That fine Prosperity
Whose Sources are interior -
As soon - Adversity
A Diamond - overtake
In far - Bolivian Ground -
Misfortune hath no implement
Could mar it - if it found -.
It was not Death, for I stood up,
And all the Dead, lie down -
It was not Night, for all the Bells
Put out their Tongues, for Noon.
It was not Frost, for on my Flesh
I felt Siroccos - crawl -
Nor Fire...
How Human Nature dotes
On what it cant detect -
The moment that a Plot is plumbed
It's meaning is extinct -
Prospective is the friend
Reserved for us to know
When Constancy is clarified
Of Curiosity -...
He ate and drank the precious Words -
His Spirit grew robust -
He knew no more that he was poor,
Nor that his frame was Dust -
He danced along the dingy Days
And this Bequest of Wings
Was but a Book -...
Ribbons of the Year -
Multitude Brocade -
Worn to Nature's Party once
Then, as flung aside
As a faded Bead
Or a Wrinkled Pearl -
Who shall charge the Vanity
Of the Maker's Girl?
Inconceivably solemn!
Things so gay
Pierce - by the very Press
Of Imagery -
Their far Parades - order on the eye
With a mute Pomp -
A pleading Pageantry -
Flags, are a brave sight -
But no true Eye

A Secret told -
Ceases to be a Secret - then -
A Secret - kept -
That - can appal but One -
Better of it - continual be afraid -
Than it -
And Whom you told it to - beside.
Il Mattino dopo il Dolore -
? spesso un Cammino -
Che supera tutti quelli levatisi prima -
Per Giubilo assoluto -
Come se la Natura fosse indifferente -
E accumulasse le sue Fioriture -
E per ostentar...
Live with Him - I see His face -
I go no more away
For Visitor - or Sundown -
Death's single privacy
The Only One - forestalling Mine -
And that - by Right that He
Presents a Claim invisible -
No wedl...
If What we Could - were what we would -
Criterion - be small -
It is the Ultimate of Talk -
The Impotence to Tell.
I've none to tell me to but Thee
So when Thou failest, nobody -
It was a little tie -
It just held Two, nor those it held
Since Somewhere thy sweet Face has spilled
Beyond my Boundary -
If things were...
Had I presumed to hope -
The loss had been to Me
A Value - for the Greatness'Sake -
As Giants - gone away -
Had I presumed to gain
A Favor so remote -
The failure but confirm the Grace
In further Infi...
