It might be lonelier
Without the Loneliness -
I'm so accustomed to my Fate -
Perhaps the Other - Peace -
Would interrupt the Dark - And crowd the little Room -
Too scant - by Cubits - to contain The Sacrament - of Him -
I am not used to Hope - It might intrude opon -
It's sweet parade - blaspheme the place - Ordained to Suffering -
It might be easier
To fail - with Land in Sight -
Than gain - my Blue Peninsula -
To perish - of Delight

National Poetry Month: Day 11! 📖❤
Have some Emily to start your week off right! I love this one!
#NationalPoetryMonth
THE soul should always stand ajar,
That if the heaven inquire,
He will not be obliged to wait,
Or shy of troubling her.
Depart, before the host has slid
The bolt upon the door,
To seek for the accomplished guest, --
Her visitor no more.

Have a lovely day, Littens. Your posts keep my days happy. 😘

Emily Dickinson💖
Emily was quite the #beautifulstranger. She rarely left her bedroom, much less her house, and often insisted on speaking to visitors through her closed from door. #movember
Catching up part 6!
Anyone who has ever met me knows I hate poetry, and I make exceptions for very few. Emily Dickinson is one of those exceptions because I may not understand what exactly she means, but that doesn‘t mean I don‘t enjoy her work.

“There is no Frigate like a Book To take us Lands away" – Emily Dickinson
#quotes
I grew up reading emily Dickinsons poetry. She has a range of poems from light and airy to heavy and deep. Her poetry is very interesting to read and opened up my love for writiny. I would reccomend her poetry as a read aloud or author study. She has an interesting life story. For ELL I would pre-teach vocabulary. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/emily-dickinson teacher/student resource. ##LAe3414SPRING19
This was the first book of poetry that I read this year, and I just realized that it was still showing in my currently reading titles! My mind drifted away to a less frenetic time, as I embraced the beauty of the language. While I recognized a few poems, many new friends were made from reading this book.
“The Face we choose to miss,
Be it but for a day-
As absent as a hundred years
When it has rode away.”
#poemsbeforephones
“That Love is all there is,
Is all we know of Love;
It is enough, the freight should be
Proportioned to the groove.”
#poemsbeforephones
(Sent with brilliant flowers.)
“I send two Sunsets-
Day and I in competition ran,
I finished two, and several stars,
While He was making one.
His own is ample-
But,as I was saying to a friend,
Mine is the more convenient
To carry in the hand.”
#poemsbeforephones
“A train went through a burial gate,
A bird broke forth and sang,
And trilled,and quivered,and shook his
throat
Till all the churchyard rang;
And then adjusted his little notes,
And bowed and sang again.
Doubtless,he thought it meet of him
To say goodbye to men.”
#poemsbeforephones
“Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality.
We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
And I had put away
My labor, and my leisure too,
For his civility.”
Illustrator- Anthony Lorente #poemsbeforephones
“A book I have, a friend gave,
A pencil here and there,
Had notched the place that pleased him,-
At rest his fingers are,
Now when I read, I read not,
For interrupting years
Obliterate the etchings
Too costly for repairs.”
New Section: Time and Eternity
#poemsbeforephones
“To make a prairie it takes a clover
and one bee,-
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do
If bees are few.”
I finished Section III- Nature.
#poemsbeforephone
“The mountain sat upon the plain
In his eternal chair,
His observation omnifold,
His inquest everywhere.
The seasons prayed around his knees,
Like children round a sire;
Grandfather of the days is he,
Of dawn the ancestor.”
#poemsbeforephones
“Some keep the Sabbath going to church;
I keep it staying at home,
With a bobolink for a chorister,
And an orchard for a dome.
God preaches-a noted clergyman,-
And the sermon is never long;
So instead of getting to heaven at last,
I‘m going all along!
Artist - John Collier

“The way I read a letter‘s this:
‘Tis first I lock the door,
And push it with my fingers next,
For transport it be sure.
And then I go the furthest off
To counteract a knock;
Then draw my little letter forth
And softly pick its lock.”
Painting- Jean Raoux
