Welcome to Litsy!

No time to hate
I had no time to hate, because the grave would hinder me, and life was not so ample I could finish enmity. Nor had I time to love, but since some industry must be, the little toil of love, I thought, was large enough for me. Emily Dickinson... This is the only book of poems I own... I think my mother gave it to me years ago!! I really would like Milk and Honey... 😊

One of the first books of #poetry I ever purchased and I think the very first book I ever bought at one of my favorite bookstores, the one on the grounds of the Chautauqua Institution in NY. That is my mothers hand writing, labeling when and where so I wouldn't forget. 💗

I remember reading it in the hammock at my older sisters house from cover to cover. Every one.
