Dickinson

Famous quotes containing the word dickinson:

    There’s plunder—where?
    Tankard, or spoon,
    Earring, or stone,
    A watch, some ancient brooch
    To match the grandmamma,
    Staid sleeping there.
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    Will you tell me my fault, frankly as to yourself, for I had rather wince, than die. Men do not call the surgeon to commend the bone, but to set it, Sir.
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    Ample make this Bed—
    Make this Bed with Awe—
    In it wait till Judgment break
    Excellent and Fair.
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
