More Quotes from Emily Dickinson:

And takes her fair aerial gait
Beyond the hope of touch.

When the Delight is Dust
With which we cite this mightiest case
Of compensated Trust.
Emily Dickinson

Another, till a Thing
And now I know 'twas Light, because
It fitted them, came in.

As Gold the Pyrites would shun --
What confusion would cover the innocent Jesus
To meet so enabled a Man!
Emily Dickinson
Next time, to tarry,
While the Ages steal --
Slow tramp the Centuries,
And the Cycles wheel!
