Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson, the "Belle of Amherst, " stayed close to home, finding inspiration in the small world around her. Often writing more than a poem a day-although few were published during her lifetime-she perfected a highly personal, condensed and still very modern style. Among the most famous, included here, are: "Success is Counted Sweetest, " "I Taste a Liquor Never Brewed, " and "This Is My Letter to the World."

I do think there's a certain type of romanticism in thinking that all that you could give to someone is your heart and the place there you're right now.

Zach Watterson

This, and my heart, and all the fields — 

Did you ever think that time is just a concept in space and in reality we are just living a single thing since we were born? We do not have days, weeks, or years. This is an illusion and time is a heaviness of it is own. 

It is that thing that you would never recognize peace if you didn't meet the war. 

Lindsay

Success is counted sweetest By those who ne'er succeed. To comprehend a nectar Requires sorest need.

The Eyes glaze once— and that is Death—

And then— the size of this "small" life—

Swelled— like Horizons— in my vest—
