Being Emily Dickinson


















I Dwell in Possibility

I dwell in Possibility --
A fairer House than Prose --
More numerous of Windows --
Superior -- for Doors --

Of Chambers as the Cedars --
Impregnable of Eye --
And for an Everlasting Roof
The Gambrels of the Sky --

Of Visitors -- the fairest --
For Occupation -- This --
The spreading wide of narrow Hands
To gather Paradise --

--Emily Dickinson

I dwell in possibility, yes, this
will become my mantra.

Is it the most beautiful thought, isn't it?
