I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word. Sometimes I write one, and I look at it, until it begins to shine.
Emily DickinsonYou cannot put a fire out! A thing that can ignite can go itself- without a flame- E'en through the darkest night!
Emily DickinsonHope 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 chilliest land And on the strangest sea; Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me.
Emily Dickinson
