Solitude

There is solitude of space

A solitude of sea

A solitude of death, but these

Society shall be

Compared with that

profounder site

That polar privacy

A soul admitted to itself –

Finite infinity

Emily dickinson

These things are holy:

That I might find myself where you are,

That I might breathe the air you breathed,

and that your heart be set like mine.

I touch them hallowed

until you take me

where sundown cannot find us.

Emily Dickinson

I shall not live in vain

If I can stop one heart from breaking

I shall not live in vain;

If I can ease one life the aching,

Or cool one pain,

Or help one fainting robin,

Unto his nest again,

I shall not live in vain.

Emily Dickinson

I hide myself within my flower

I hide myself within my flower,

That wearing on your breast,

You, unsuspecting, wear me too

And angels know the rest.

I hide myself within my flower,

That, fading from your vase,

You, unsuspecting, feel for me

Almost a loneliness.

Emily Dickinson
