Emily Dickinson is one of my favorite poets. Today, I would like to share with you my three favorite poems by her.
If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall
not live in vain. If I can ease one life the aching,
or cool one pain, or help one fainting robin unto
his nest again, I shall not live in vain.
There is no frigate like a book to take us lands away,
nor any coursers like a page of prancing poetry. This
travel may the poorest take, without oppress of toll.
How frugal is the chariot that bears the human soul.
Fame is a bee, it has a song,
it has a sting.Ah, too, it has a wing.
Aren't those cool?

The middle one ("There is no frigate like a book...") is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE poem of all time.
THE PEDIGREE of honey
Does not concern the bee;
A clover, any time, to him
Is aristocracy.
--E. Dickinson
I liked the last one!

My favorite is "I'll tell you how the sun rose..."
