Some keep the Sabbath going to church, I keep it staying at home, with a bobolink for a chorister, and an orchard for a dome.

Life is a spell so exquisite that everything conspires to break it.

An ear can break a human heart As quickly as a spear, We wish the ear had not a heart So dangerously near.

I felt a Cleaving in my Mind- As if my Brain had split- I tried to match it- Seam by Seam- But could not make it fit.

Life is so rotatory that the wilderness falls to each, sometime.

To see her is a picture- To hear her is a tune- To know her an Intemperance As innocent as June- To know her not-Affliction- To own her for a Friend A warmth as near as if the the Sun Were shining in your Hand.

Until you have loved, you cannot become yourself.
