Emily Dickinson Poem
A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.

Winter Afternoons
There’s a certain Slant of light,
Winter afternoons –
That oppresses, like the Heft
Of Cathedral Tunes –
Heavenly Hurt, it gives us –
We can find no scar,
But internal difference,
Where the Meanings, are….
When it comes, the Landscape listens –
Shadows – hold their breath –
When it goes, ’tis like the Distance
On the look of Death.
~Emily Dickinson, c.1861
Forever
Forever is composed of nows. — Emily Dickinson
