She once wrote, "If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire ever can warm me, I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. These are the only ways I know it." ~ Emily Dickinson
I understand this completley.
One of my favorites as of late is a converstaion between her and Jesus...
"Unto Me?" I do not know you-
Where may be your House?
"I am Jesus-Late of Judea-
Now-of Paradise"-
Wagons-have you-to convey me?
This is far from Thence-
"Arms of Mine-sufficient Phaeton-
Trust Omnipotence"-
I'm spotted-"I am Pardon"
I am small- "The Least
Is esteemed in Heaven the Chiefest-
Occupy my House" -
c. 1864 - Emily Dickinson
