- Anger as soon as fed is dead,
- 'Tis starving makes it fat.
- Fame is a bee.
- It has a song--
- It has a sting--
- Ah, too, it has a wing.
EMILY DICKINSON, Fame is a bee
- Some keep the Sabbath going to church;
- I keep it staying at home,
- With a bobolink for a chorister,
- And an orchard for a dome.
EMILY DICKINSON, Some keep the Sabbath going to Church
- Tell all the Truth but tell it slant--
- Success in Circuit lies
- Too bright for our infirm Delight
- The Truth's superb surprise.
EMILY DICKINSON, Tell all the Truth but tell it slant--
- Surgeons must be very careful
- When they take the knife!
- Underneath their fine incisions
- Stirs the culprit--life!
EMILY DICKINSON, Surgeons must be very careful
- Shame need not crouch
- In such an earth as ours
- Stand—stand erect;
- The universe is yours.
EMILY DICKINSON, Not with a Club, the Heart is broken
- We outgrow love like other things
- And put it in the drawer,
- Till it an antique fashion shows
- Like costumes grandsires wore.
EMILY DICKINSON, "We Outgrow Love Like Other Things"
Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all.
EMILY DICKINSON, "Hope is the thing with feathers"
- Such is the force of Happiness--
- The Least can lift a ton
- Assisted by its stimulus.
EMILY DICKINSON, "Such is the force of happiness"
They say that God is everywhere, and yet we always think of Him as somewhat of a recluse.
EMILY DICKINSON, letter to Mrs. J. G. Holland, spring 1878
