"But nature is a stranger yet ;
The ones that cite her most
Have never passed her haunted house,
Nor simplified her ghost

To pity those that know her not
Is helped by the regret
That those who know her, know her less
The nearer her they get."

DREAMS

Let me not mar that perfect dream
By an auroral stain,
But so adjust my daily night
That it will come again.

(I forgot how much I LOVED THIIIS)

Bless my mom for picking this up from a book market just as I was already getting into Emily Dickinson I am already OBSESSED and it makes me want to write a heck ton.
