EMILY DICKINSON
49 I never lost as much but twice
358
1
67 Success is counted sweetest
359
1
71 A throe upon the features
359
1
76 Exultation is the going
359
1
108 Surgeons must be very careful
360
1
130 These are the days when Birds come back
360
1
146 On such a night
360
1
153 Dust is the only Secret
361
1
185 "Faith" is a fine invention
362
1
187 How many times these low feet staggered
362
1
189 It's such a little thing to weep
362
1
201 Two swimmers wrestled on the spar
362
1
210 The thought beneath so slight a film
363
1
211 Come slowly-Eden!
363
1
214 I taste a liquor never brewed
363
1
216 Safe in their Alabaster Chambers (1859 and 1861)
364
1
234 you're right-"the way is narrow"
364
1
241 I like a look of Agony
365
1
249 Wild Nights-Wild Nights!
365
1
254 "Hope" is the thing with feathers
365
1
258 There's a certain Slant of light
366
1
280 I felt a Funeral, in my Brain
366
1
287 A Clock Stopped
367
1
288 I'm Nobody! Who are you?
367
1
301 I reason, Earth is short
368
1
303 The Soul selects her own Society
368
1
305 The difference between Despair
368
1
315 He fumbles at your Soul
369
1
324 Some keep the Sabbath going to Church
369
1
326 I cannot dance upon my Toes
369
1
341 After great pain, a formal feeling comes
370
1
346 Not probable-The barest Chance
370
1
352 Perhaps I asked too large
371
1
355 'Tis opposites-entice
371
1
356 The Day that I was crowned
371
1
364 The Morning after Woe
372
1
365 Dare you see a Soul at the White Heat?
372
1
367 Over and over, like a Tune
373
1
376 Of Course-I prayed
373
1
377 To lose one's faith-surpass
373
1
378 I saw no Way-The Heavens were stitched
374
1
383 Exhilaration-is within
374
1
384 No Rack can torture me
374
1
391 A Visitor in Marl
375
1
401 What Soft-Cherubic Creatures
375
1
405 It might be lonelier
376
1
407 If What we could-were what we would
376
1
429 The Moon is distant from the Sea
376
1
435 Much Madness is divinest Sense
377
1
441 This is my letter to the World
377
1
448 This was a Poet-It is That
377
1
455 Triumph-may be of several kinds
378
1
456 So well that I can live without
378
1
461 A Wife-at Daybreak I shall be
379
1
465 I heard a Fly buzz-when I died
379
1
485 To make One's Toilette-after Death
379
1
492 Civilization-spurns-the Leopard!
380
1
501 This World is not Conclusion
380
1
502 At least-to pray-is left-is left
381
1
505 I would not paint-a picture
381
1
510 It was not Death, for I stood up
382
1
511 If you were coming in the Fall
382
1
518 Her sweet Weight on my Heart at Night
383
1
536 The Heart asks Pleasure-first
383
1
569 I reckon-when I count at all
384
1
579 I had been hungry, all the Years
384
1
640 I cannot live with You
385
1
642 Me from Myself-to banish
386
1
650 Pain-has an Element of Blank
386
1
657 I dwell in Possibility
387
1
675 Essential Oils-are wrung
387
1
680 Each Life Converges to some Centre
387
1
701 A Thought went up my mind today
388
1
709 Publication-is the Auction
388
1
724 It's easy to invent a Life
389
1
729 Alter! When the Hills do
389
1
754 My Life had stood-a Loaded Gun
390
1
777 The Loneliness One dare not sound
390
1
785 They have a little Odor-that to me
391
1
847 Finite-to fail, but infinite to Venture
391
1
861 Split the Lark-and you'll find the Music
391
1
870 Finding is the first Act
391
1
875 I stepped from Plank to Plank
392
1
883 The Poets light but Lamps
392
1
884 An Everywhere of Silver
392
1
914 I cannot be ashamed
392
1
963 A nearness to Tremendousness
393
1
994 Partake as doth the Bee
393
1
997 Crumbling is not an instant's Act
393
1
1036 Satisfaction is the Agent
394
1
1072 Title divine-is mine!
394
1
1129 Tell all the Truth but tell it slant
394
1
1196 To make routine a stimulus
395
1
1212 A word is dead
395
1
1218 Let my first Knowing be of thee
395
