Emily Dickinson
  • If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry.

  • If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

  • There is no Frigate like a book to take us lands away nor any coursers like a page of prancing Poetry.

  • Morning without you is a dwindled dawn.

  • They might not need me but they might. I'll let my head be just in sight a smile as small as mine might be precisely their necessity.
