Quote from “Letter To Thomas Wentworth Higginson (1870)”

If I read a book [and] it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. These are the only ways I know it. Is there any other way?

Emily Dickinson

But I could not both live

Quote from “Boy: Tales Of Childhood”
