Emily Dickinson

Some people prefer Frost to Dickinson. They say this, because they do not understand the beautiful reality that affects everyone, that Dickinson portrays so flawlessly. I am inclined to fall in love with her poetry again and again. She is one of the few female poets that was good at what she did.

Emily Dickinson is one of my heroes. I love that she was able to be so productive in her life, only to be loved by lovers, and never a husband.

This is my favorite poem in the entire world.

RESURRECTION.

'T was a long parting, but the time
For interview had come;
Before the judgment-seat of God,
The last and second time

These fleshless lovers met,
A heaven in a gaze,
A heaven of heavens, the privilege
Of one another's eyes.

No lifetime set on them,
Apparelled as the new
Unborn, except they had beheld,
Born everlasting now.

Was bridal e'er like this?
A paradise, the host,
And cherubim and seraphim
The most familiar guest.
