Without the words,
and never stops at all. Emily Dickinson I dwell in possibility... Emily DickinsonI hope you love birds too. It is economical. It saves going to heaven. Emily Dickinson My friends are my estate. Emily DickinsonMy life closed twice before its' close-
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil

One need not be a house;
The brain has corridors surpassing
Material place. Emily Dickinson Success is counted sweetest by those who ne'er succeed. Emily Dickinson They say that God is everywhere, and yet we always think of Him as somewhat of a recluse.
