Speech is one symptom of Affection
More quotes by Emily Dickinson
The pedigree of honey
Does not concern the bee;
A clover, any time, to him
Is aristocracy.
They say that God is everywhere, and yet we always think of Him as somewhat of a recluse.
Love is anterior to life,
Posterior to death,
Initial of creation, and
The exponent of breath.

Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.
Just at the age 'twixt boy and youth,
When thought is speech, and speech is truth.
