Emily Dickinson

EMILY DICKINSON ~ HOPE

in Poetry of Art by

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.

Emily Dickinson ~ Hope

EMILY DICKINSON ~ THE SPLITTING OF THE BRAIN

in Art & the Unconscious Mind/Poetry of Art by

I felt a Cleaving in my Mind…
as if my Brain has split..
I tried to match it – Seam by Seam –
But could not make it fit.
