I cannot live with you,
It would be life,
And life is over there
Behind the shelf.
Étiquette : life
I had no time to hate
I had no time to hate, because
The grave would hinder me,
And life was not so ample I
Could finish enmity.
If I can stop one heart from breaking
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain ;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
If I can stop one Heart from breaking, Emily Dickinson (1830 – 1886)
To know the worst is sweet
Life is but life, and death but death !
Bliss is but bliss and breath but breath !
And if, indeed, I fail,
At least to know the worst is sweet.
Defeat means nothing but defeat.
From ‘Tis so much joy! ‘Tis so much joy!, Emily Dickinson (1830 – 1886)
Our blank in bliss to fill
Our share of night to bear,
Our share of morning,
Our blank in bliss to fill,
Our blank in scorning.
From Our share of night to bear, Emily Dickinson (1830 – 1886)
