INTRODUCTION
EMILY DICKINSON GREATEST POEMS
This is my letter to the World
Success is counted sweetest
If I can stop one Heart from breaking
Much Madness is divinest Sense
The Soul selects her own Society
I taste a liquor never brewed.
The Brain within its Groove
Mine
I cannot live with You
I'm ceded
'It was a long parting
Apocalypse
The Wife
Why?
A drop fell on the apple tree
Apparently with no surprise
There’s a certain Slant of light
One dignity delays for all
Delayed
Safe in their Alabaster Chambers
Exultation is the going
I died for beauty
"And I for truth, — the two are one;
I like a look of agony
I never saw a Moor
The last night that she lived,
The first lesson
Dying
The Chariot
I never lost as much but twice
I'm nobody! Who are you?
The white heat
The Return
Before I got my eye put out
Choice
Wild nights! Wild nights!
The night was wide
Nature, the gentlest mother
Out of the morning
The Sun’s wooding
The robin is the one
A Bird came down the Walk
A narrow Fellow in the Grass
The mushroom
The storm
The spider
I know a place where summer strives
The Wind tapped like a tired Man
Going to heaven!
Epitaph
Ample make this bed
It was not Death, for I stood up
Superiority to fate
Hope
Forbidden Frut
My Life closed twice before its close
There is no Frigate like a Book
The brain is wider than the Sky
He fumbles at your spirit
Heart, we will forget him!
Who?
A Light exists in Spring
To make a prairie
I felt a funeral in my brain
