  1. The Soul selects her own Society —
    Then — shuts the Door —
    To her divine Majority —
    Present no more —

    Unmoved — she notes the Chariots — pausing —
    At her low Gate —
    Unmoved — an Emperor be kneeling
    Upon her Mat —

    I've known her — from an ample nation —
    Choose One —
    Then — close the Valves of her attention —
    Like Stone —

    — Emily Dickinson

  2. Hope by
    Emily Dickinson-

    Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all.

    And sweetest in the gale is heard and sore must be the storm that could abash the little Bird that kept so many warm.

    I’ve heard it in the chillest land and on the strangest sea yet never in extremity, it asked a crumb of me.

  3. Success is counted sweetest;
    By those who ne’er succeed.

  4. Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough.

  5. I had no time to hate
    because
    the grave would hinder me
    and life was not so
    ample I
    could finish
    enmity

    Nor had I time to love
    but since
    Some industry must be
    The little toil of Love
    I thought
    Be large enough for me

  7. First stanza of Emily Dickinson's "Hope" is the thing with feathers. Seems right for today.

    “Hope” is the thing with feathers -
    That perches in the soul -
    And sings the tune without the words -
    And never stops - at all -

  8. To venerate the simple days by #EmilyDickinson.

    To venerate the simple days
    Which lead the seasons by,
    Needs but to remember
    That from you or me
    They may take the trifle
    Termed mortality!

    To invest existence with a stately air,
    Needs but to remember
    That the acorn there
    Is the egg of forests
    For the upper air!

  9. Emancipation by #EmilyDickinson.

    No rack can torture me,
    My soul's at liberty
    Behind this mortal bone
    There knits a bolder one

    You cannot prick with saw,
    Nor rend with scymitar.
    Two bodies therefore be;
    Bind one, and one will flee.

    The eagle of his nest
    No easier divest
    And gain the sky,
    Than mayest thou,

    Except thyself may be
    Thine enemy;
    Captivity is consciousness,
    So's liberty.

  11. (Emily Dickinson)

    One need not be a chamber—to be haunted—
    One need not be a House—
    The Brain—has Corridors surpassing
    Material Place—

    Far safer, of a Midnight—meeting
    External Ghost—
    Than an Interior—confronting—
    That cooler—Host—

    Far safer, through an Abbey—gallop—
    The Stones a’chase—
    Than moonless—One’s A’self encounter—
    In lonesome place—

    Ourself—behind Ourself—Concealed—
    Should startle—most—
    Assassin—hid in Our Apartment—
    Be Horror’s least—

    The Prudent—carries a Revolver—
    He bolts the Door,
    O’erlooking a Superior Spectre
    More near—

  14. I'm giving up on Emily Dickinson. After a hundred or so pages, I just can't muster interest, and I don't think I like "get it" formally. Is it just me?

  15. "Dickinson was expert in standing in corners, expert in secret listening and silent understanding. Bristling with Yankee energy, chained to an increasingly demanding agoraphobia, she moved through that particular mole of nature in her -- she studied Terror. Adopted parataxis and rupture to tell the feverish haste, the loss, to warn of storm approaching -- Brute force, mechanism. Cassandra was a woman. All power, including the power of Love, all nature, including the nature of Time, is utterly unstable."

    -- Susan Howe, from *My Emily Dickinson*

  16. Intrusiveness of flowers.
    G.
    “Intrusiveness of flowers is brooked even by troubled hearts.
    They enter and then knock—then chide their ruthless sweetness, and then remain forgiven.
    May these molest as fondly!”
    (L540) - Emily Dickinson.

    Flowers shout like a visual assault, based on the phrase above.

  17. @rachaneelumayno Emily Dickinson’s words on death and immortality still echo in my mind. Her work has a way of sticking with you. What do you think of her obsession with death? #Poetry #EmilyDickinson #DeathAndLife #LiteraryGenius

  18. #EmilyDickinson was born today in 1830. What's your favorite poem of hers? So many to choose from. Here's one of mine.

    The Brain—is wider than the Sky—
    For—put them side by side—
    The one the other will contain
    With ease—and you—beside—
    The Brain is deeper than the sea—
    For—hold them—Blue to Blue—
    The one the other will absorb—
    As sponges—Buckets—do—
    The Brain is just the weight of God—
    For—Heft them—Pound for Pound—
    And they will differ—if they do—
    As Syllable from Sound—

  23. Bedeutende Lyrikerin und weltgrößter Popstar: Taylor Swift ist angeblich mit Emily Dickinson verwandt

    #Promi. Taylor Swift soll die Cousine einer der berühmtesten amerikanischen Dichterinnen sein – natürlich um ein paar Ecken. Das wollen Ahnenforscher herausgefunden haben. Fans der Sängerin vermuten schon länger eine Verbindung.
