| Selected Poetry of Emily Dickinson |
| ||||||
| *This world is not conclusion; A sequel stands beyond, Invisible, as music, But positive, as sound. It beckons and it baffles; Philosophies don't know, And through a riddle, at the last, Sagacity must go. To guess it puzzles scholars; To gain it, men have shown Contempt of generations, And crucifixion known.* *The soul unto itself Is an imperial friend,-- Or the most agonizing spy An Enemy could send. Secure against it's own, No treason it can fear; Itself its sovereign, of itself The soul should stand in awe.* *Nature rarer uses yellow Than any other hue; Saves she all of that for sunsets,-- Prodigal of blue, Spending scarlet like a woman, Yellow she affords Only scantly and selectly, Like a lover's words.* *My life closed twice before its close; It yet remains to see If Immortality unveil A third event to me, So huge, so hopeless to concieve As these that twice befel. Parting is all we know of heaven, And all we need of hell.* *I've seen a dying eye Run round and round a room In search of something, as it seemed, Then cloudier become; And then, obscure with fog, And then be soldered down, Without disclosing what it be, 'T were blessed to have seen.* *If recollecting were forgetting, Then i remember not; And if forgetting, recollecting, How near i had forgot! And if to miss were merry, And if to mourn were gay, How very blithe the fingers That gathered these to-day!* *A poor torn heart, a tattered heart, That sat it down to rest, Nor noticed that the ebbing day Flowed silver to the west, Nor notice night did soft descend Nor constellation burn, Intent upon the vision Of latitudes unknown. The angels, happening that way, This dusty heart espied; Tenderly took it up from toil And carried it to God. There,--sandals for the barefoot; There,--gathered from the gales, Do blue havens by the hand Lead the wandering sails.* *A word is dead When it is said, Some say. I say it just Begins to live That day.* |
