Poetry Quote by Emily Dickinson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Tell all the truth but tell it slant.”

“A wounded dear leaps the highest”

“I died for beauty, but was scarce”

“One need not be a Chamber — to be Haunted —”

““That I shall love always,”

“Parting is all we know of heaven and all we need of hell.”

“I have no words — alas! — to tell”

“I imagine what it must be like to stay hidden, disappear in the dusky nothing and stay still in the night. It’s not sadness, though it may sound like it. I’m thinking about people and trees and how I wish I could be silent more, be more tree than anything else, less clumsy and loud, less crow, more cool white pine, and how it’s hard not to always want something else, not just to let the savage grass grow.”

“Poetry is not the most important thing in life... I'd much rather lie in a hot bath reading Agatha Christie and sucking sweets.”

“i laced my shoes with sorrow”

“On the shining yards of heaven”

“she’s caught”
