Famous quotes by emily dickinson:

    On whose forbidden ear
    The distant strains of triumph
    Burst agonized and clear!
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    ‘Hope’ is the thing with feathers—
    That perches in the soul—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    There’s a certain Slant of light,
    Winter Afternoons—
    That oppresses, like the Heft
    Of Cathedral Tunes—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    And then—a Day as huge
    As Yesterdays in pairs,
    Unrolled its horror in my face—
    Until it blocked my eyes—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    Nor could I rise with you,
    Because your face
    Would put out Jesus’,
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
