Emily Dickinson Quotes

“I miss one angel face in the little world of sisters- dear Mary- sainted Mary- Remember lonely one- tho, she comes not to us, we shall return to her!”

“She looks like a fairy tonight, sailing around the sky in a little silver gondola with stars for gondoliers.”

″...but for our sakes dear Susie, who please ourselves with the fancy that we are the only poets- and everyone else is prose, let us hope they will yet be willing to share our humble world and feed upon such ailment as we consent to do!”

“I am so glad dear Susie- that our hearts are always clean, and always neat and lovely, so not to be ashamed.”

“You do not hear the wind blow on this inclement day, when the world is shrugging it’s shoulders.”

″...laugh as often and sing, for tears are plentier than smiles in this little world of ours...”

“So You will be what you will to be;”

“The human Will, that force unseen,

That moves the stones and makes the trees bend, to the purpose of its own desire, and shapes the world to its own design.”

“The gods are ready to obey.”
