No eye hath seen and lived
We ignorant must be --
We only know what time of Year
We took the Mystery.
(The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson)
More Quotes from Emily Dickinson:
But -- I can say a little "Minor"Timid as a Bird!
Emily Dickinson
But who am I,
To tell the pretty secret
Of the Butterfly!
Emily Dickinson
Playmates, and holidays, and nuts --
And visions vast and small --
Strange that the feet so precious charged
Should reach so small a goal!
Emily Dickinson
Between the form of Life and Life
The difference is as big
As Liquor at the Lip between
And Liquor in the Jug
The latter -- excellent to keep --
But for ecstatic need
The corkless is superior --
I know for I have tried
Emily Dickinson
Earth at the best
Is but a scanty Toy --
Bought, carried Home
To Immortality.
Emily Dickinson
Judgment is justest
When the Judged,
His action laid away,
Divested is of every Disk
But his sincerity.
Emily Dickinson
