Emily Dickinson

Who has not found the heaven below

Will fail of it above.

God's residence is next to mine,

His furniture is love.

Emily Dickinson: "Prayer is a little implement"

Prayer is the little implement
Through which men reach
Where presence is denied them.
They fling their speech

By means of it in God's ear;
If then He hear,
This sums the apparatus
Comprised in prayer.

Emily Dickinson: "Much madness is divinest sense"

Much madness is divinest sense
To a discerning eye;
Much sense the starkest madness.
'T is the majority
In this, as all, prevails.
Assent, and you are sane;
Demur, – you're straightway dangerous,
And handled with a chain.
