And perish on the Day
Himself is borne away
From Mansion of the Universe
A lifeless Deity.
(The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson)
More Quotes from Emily Dickinson:
To hold a letter to the light --Grown Tawny now, with time --
To con the faded syllables
That quickened us like Wine!
Emily Dickinson
Our journey had advanced Our feet were almost come To that odd fork in Being's road, Eternity by term.
Emily Dickinson
No Life can pompless pass away --
The lowliest career
To the same Pageant wends its way
As that exalted here --
Emily Dickinson
Is it dead -- Find it --
Out of sound -- Out of sight --
"Happy"?
Emily Dickinson
Could live -- did live --
Could die -- did die --
Could smile upon the whole
Through faith in one he met not,
To introduce his soul.
Emily Dickinson
