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

“Oh Susie, I often think that I will try to tell you how very dear you are, and how I'm watching for you, but the words won't come, though the tears will, and I sit down disappointed. Yet, darling, you know it all-- then why do I seek to tell you? I do not know. In thinking of those I love, my reason is all gone from me, and I do fear sometimes that I must make a hospital for the hopelessly insane, and chain myself up there so I won't injure you.”

“In a serener Bright,”

“I think of love, and you, and my heart grows full and warm, and my breath stands still.”

“Success is counted sweetest”

“I felt a Cleaving in my Mind—”

“There's a certain slant of light,”

“where do i find self love?'”

“i have laughed”

“I am quite sure that poetry will live long with our generations to come.”

“Without poets, without artists... everything would fall apart into chaos. There would be no more seasons, no more civilizations, no more thought, no more humanity, no more life even; and impotent darkness would reign forever. Poets and artists together determine the features of their age, and the future meekly conforms to their edit.”

“If we ever make it to shore, he says, I will name our son after this water. I will learn to love a monster”

“Straight between them ran the pathway,”
