A word is dead
When it is said
Some say.

I say it just
Begins to live
That day.


Emily Dickinson

Alter! When the hills do.... Dec 4, 2003

Mónica,

Emily wrote more than 1,100 poems and only a few were published while she was alive. Most of her small pearls had no titles but numbers.
Here, the one I love the most, number 729 (I think I`m going to change my proz motto )

Au, a stubborn basque (poetic, though...)



Alter! When the Hills do—
Falter! When the Sun
Question if His Glory
Be the Perfe

Alter! When the Hills do—
Falter! When the Sun
Question if His Glory
Be the Perfect One—

Surfeit! When the Daffodil
Doth of the Dew—
Even as Herself—Sir—
I will—of You—

To make a prairie Dec 5, 2003

it takes a clover and a bee
A clover and a bee
And Revery
Revery alone can do if bees are few

My little contribution
Good choice of topic!

Another one Dec 5, 2003

If what we could were what we would--
Criterion be small;
It is the Ultimate of talk
The impotence to tell.

More Emily, anybody? Dec 8, 2003

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all.

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I´ve heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
it asked a crumb of me.

There is no escape from self Dec 10, 2003

I like this one where she plays with how our hearts leap over great events and ideas - but we remain hidebound by our little selves.

"I never hear the word "escape"
Without a quicker blood,
A sudden expectation,
A flying attitude!

I never hear of prisons broad
By soldiers battered down,
But I tug childish at my bars
Only to fail again!

Cheers,

Berni

"Faith" is a fine invention
When Gentlemen can ^^see^^
But Microscopes are prudent
In an Emergency.

a bit early in the season, but ! Dec 29, 2003

Before you thought of spring,
Except as a surmise,
You see, God bless his suddenness,
A fellow in the skies
Of independent hues,
A little weather-worn,
Inspiriting habiliments
Of indigo and brown.

With specimens of song,
As if for you to choose,
Discretion in the interval,
With gay delays he goes
To some superior tree
Without a single leaf,
And shouts for joy to nobody
But his seraphic self!
