The Hills erect their Purple Heads
The Rivers lean to see
Yet Man has not of all the Throng
A Curiosity.
(The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson)
More Quotes from Emily Dickinson:
Were it to be the lastHow infinite would be
What we did not suspect was marked --
Our final interview.
Emily Dickinson
A face devoid of love or grace,
A hateful, hard, successful face,
A face with which a stone
Would feel as thoroughly at ease
As were they old acquaintances --
First time together thrown.
Emily Dickinson
For each ecstatic instant We must an anguish pay In keen and quivering ratio To the ecstasy.
Emily Dickinson
Gratitude -- is not the mention
Of a Tenderness,
But its still appreciation
Out of Plumb of Speech.
Emily Dickinson
When it comes, the Landscape listens - Shadows - hold their breath - When it goes, 'tis like the Distance On the look of Death
Emily Dickinson
A Toad, can die of Light --
Death is the Common Right
Of Toads and Men --
Of Earl and Midge
The privilege --
Why swagger, then?
Emily Dickinson
