“I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there ’s a pair of us—don’t tell!
They ’d banish us, you know.

How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!”
― Emily Dickinson, The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

“A Word is Dead

A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.

I say it just
Begins to live
That day.”
― Emily Dickinson, The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

“Those that Hobgoblin call you and sweet Puck,
You do their work, and they shall have good luck:
Are not you he?'

'Thou speak'st aright;
I am that merry wanderer of the night.”
― William Shakespeare
