Emily Dickinson Flashcards
Kept beating - beating - till I thought
My mind was going numb
280
As all the Heavens were a Bell,
And Being, but an Ear
280
And hit a world at every plunge
And finished knowing - then -
280
Like one in danger, Cautious,
I offered him a Crumb
328
Than Oars divide the Ocean,
Too silver for a seam -
328
The stiff Heart questions was it He, that bore,
And yesterday, or Centuries before?
341
This is the Hour of Lead
Remembered, if outlived,
341
And then hopped sidewise to the Wall
To let a Beetle pass -
328
The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Tombs -
341
A Wooden way
Regardless grown,
A Quartz contentment, like a stone -
341
I often wonder he
Can stand so close and look so bold
At what is awe to me.

Related somehow they may be
1400
Except the Dying - this to Us
Made Nature different
1100
It was a narrow time -
1100
Bent to the Water, struggled scarce -
Consented, and was dead -
