Emily Dickinson Quotes, Pain Quotes, Heart Quotes

To caress the serpent that devours us, and hug him close to our bosoms till he has gnawed into our hearts?

Reason is always a kind of brute force; those who appeal to the head rather than the heart, however pallid and polite, are necessarily men of violence. We speak of 'touching' a man's heart, but we can do nothing to his head but hit it.

The Danaan children laugh, in cradles of wrought gold, And clap their hands together, and half close their eyes, For they will ride the North when the ger-eagle flies, With heavy whitening wings, and a heart fallen cold.
