Emily Dickinson
1830–86, American poet, b. Amherst, Mass. She is widely considered one of the greatest poets in American literature. Her unique, gemlike lyrics are distillations of profound feeling and original intellect, and they stand outside the mainstream of American literary tradition. I'd like to introduce some of the wonderful pieces of art she wrote:
Life
A WORD is dead
|
| When it is said,
|
| Some say.
|
| I say it just
|
| Begins to live
| 5
| That day.
|
About Love
THERE is a word
|
| Which bears a sword
|
| Can pierce an armed man.
|
| It hurls its barbed syllables,—
|
| At once is mute again.
| 5
| But where it fell
|
| The saved will tell
|
| On patriotic day,
|
| Some epauletted brother
|
| Gave his breath away.
| 10
|
| Wherever runs the breathless sun,
|
| Wherever roams the day,
|
| There is its noiseless onset,
|
| There is its victory!
|
| Behold the keenest marksman!
| 15
| The most accomplished shot!
|
| Time’s sublimest target
|
| Is a soul “forgot”!
