Crowns of Life" are servile Prizes
To the stately Heart,
Given for the Giving, solely,
No Emolument.
(The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson)
More Quotes from Emily Dickinson:
To die -- without the DyingAnd live -- without the Life
This is the hardest Miracle
Propounded to Belief.
Emily Dickinson
To love thee Year by Year --
May less appear
Than sacrifice, and cease --
However, dear,
Forever might be short, I thought to show --
And so I pieced it, with a flower, now.
Emily Dickinson
His Labor is a Chant --
His Idleness -- a Tune --
Oh, for a Bee's experience
Of Clovers, and of Noon!
Emily Dickinson
The saddest noise, the sweetest noise,
The maddest noise that grows, --
The birds, they make it in the spring,
At night's delicious close.
Emily Dickinson
Not for the Sorrow, done me --
But the push of Joy --
Say it again, Saxton!
Emily Dickinson
