Emily Dickinson (1830–1886) • By the 1860s, Dickinson lived in almost total physical isolation
“Heart, we will forget him!” Heart, we will forget him! You an I, tonight! You may forget the warmth he gave, I will forget the light. When you have done, pray tell me That I my thoughts may dim; Haste! lest while you're lagging. I may remember him!
I heard a Fly buzz—when I died I heard a Fly buzz – when I died – The Stillness in the Room Was like the Stillness in the Air – Between the Heaves of Storm – The Eyes around – had wrung them dry – And Breaths were gathering firm For that last Onset – when the King Be witnessed – in the Room – I willed my Keepsakes – Signed away What portions of me be Assignable – and then it was There interposed a Fly – With Blue – uncertain stumbling Buzz Between the light – and me – And then the Windows failed – and then I could not see to see –
Wild Nights – Wild Nights! Wild Nights – Wild Nights!Were I with theeWild Nights should beOur luxury! Futile – the winds –To a heart in port –Done with the compass –Done with the chart! Rowing in Eden –Ah, the sea!Might I moor – Tonight –In thee!
