Famous quotes by emily dickinson:

    Elysium is as far as to
    The very nearest room,
    If in that room a friend await
    Felicity of doom.
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    It passes, and we stay:

    A quality of loss
    Affecting our content,
    As trade had suddenly encroached
    Upon a sacrament.
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    There’s a certain Slant of light,
    Winter Afternoons—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    If certain, when this life was out—
    That your’s and mine, should be—
    I’d toss it yonder, like a Rind,
    And take Eternity—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    struggled scarce—
    Consented, and was dead—

    And We—We placed the Hair—
    And drew the Head erect—
    And then an awful leisure was
    Belief to regulate—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
