Quotes
„I never hear the word “escape”Without a quicker blood,A sudden expectation,A flying attitude.I never hear of prisons broadBy soldiers battered down,But I tug childish at my bars,—Only to fail again!“
„”Hope” is the thing with feathers —That perches in the soul —And sings the tune without the words —And never stops — at all — And sweetest — in the Gale — is heard —And sore must be the storm —That could abash the little BirdThat kept so many warm — “
„p>The grass so little has to do,—A sphere of simple green,With only butterflies to brood,And bees to entertain,And stir all day to pretty tunesThe breezes fetch along,And hold the sunshine in its lapAnd bow to everything;And thread the dews all night, like pearls,And make itself so fine,-A duchess were too commonFor such a noticing.And even when it dies, to passIn odors so divine,As lowly spices gone to sleep,Or amulets of pine.And then to dwell in sovereign barns,And dream the days away,—The grass so little has to do,I wish I were a hay!
„p>It tossed and tossed,—A little brig I knew,—O’ertook by blast,It spun and spun,And groped delirious, for morn.It slipped and slipped,As one that drunken stepped;Its white foot tripped,Then dropped from sight.Ah, brig, good-nightTo crew and you;The ocean’s heart too smooth, too blue,To break for you.
„Some Days retired from the restIn soft distinction lie, The Day that a companion came—Or was obliged to die.“
„p>The distance that the dead have goneDoes not at first appear;Their coming back seems possibleFor many an ardent year.And then, that we have followed themWe more than half suspect,So intimate have we becomeWith their dear retrospect.
„p>Bless God, he went as soldiers,His musket on his breast;Grant, God, he charge the bravestOf all the martial blest.Please God, might I behold himIn epauletted white,I should not fear the foe then,I should not fear the fight.
„I heard a Fly buzz — when I died —The Stillness in the RoomWas like the Stillness in the Air —Between the Heaves of Storm“
„How happy is the little stone That rambles in the road alone,And does n’t care about careers,And exigencies never fears;Whose coat of elemental brownA passing universe put on; And independent as the sun,Associates or glows alone,Fulfilling absolute decreeIn casual simplicity.“
„God preaches, a noted Clergyman —And the sermon is never long,So instead of getting to Heaven, at last—I’m going, all along.“
„p>Could Hope inspect her BasisHer Craft were done —Has a fictitious CharterOr it has none —Balked in the vastest instanceBut to renew —Felled but by one assassin —Prosperity —
„The sweets of Pillage can be knownTo no one but the Thief,Compassion for IntegrityIs his divinest Grief.“
„The blunder is to estimate,—“Eternity is Then,”We say, as of a station.Meanwhile he is so near,He joins me in my ramble,Divides abode with me,No friend have I that so persistsAs this Eternity.“
„A Vastness, as a Neighbor, came,A Wisdom, without Face, or Name,A Peace, as Hemispheres at HomeAnd so the Night became.“
„p>This is my letter to the WorldThat never wrote to Me —The simple News that Nature told —With tender MajestyHer Message is committedTo Hands I cannot see —For love of Her — Sweet — countrymen —Judge tenderly — of Me
„If Aims impel these Astral OnesThe ones allowed to knowKnow that which makes them as forgotAs Dawn forgets them — now“
„p>Not with a Club, the Heart is brokenNor with a Stone —A Whip so small you could not see itI’ve knownTo lash the Magic CreatureTill it fell,Yet that Whip’s NameToo noble then to tell.Magnanimous as BirdBy Boy descried —Singing unto the StoneOf which it died —Shame need not crouchIn such an Earth as Ours —Shame — stand erect —The Universe is yours.
„p>Fate slew him, but he did not drop;She felled—he did not fall—Impaled him on her fiercest stakes—He neutralized them all.She stung him, sapped his firm advance,But, when her worst was done,And he, unmoved, regarded her,Acknowledged him a man.
„The pedigree of honey Does not concern the bee;A clover, any time, to himIs aristocracy.“
„God is sitting here, looking into my very soul to see if I think right thoughts. Yet I am not afraid, for I try to be right and good; and He knows every one of my struggles.“
