"I have not told my garden yet,
Lest that should conquer me;" (Dickinson) [VIII] I have not told my garden yet

"Choose one;
Then close the valves of her attention
Like stone." (Dickenson)

"Why, I will lend until just then,
But not an hour more!" (Dickenson)

"Then draw my little letter forth and softly pick the lock."

“So faces on two decks look back, Bound to opposing lands”

“Why, I will lend until just then, But not an hour more!”

"And sigh for lack of heaven..."
"I never spoke with God, Nor visited in heaven; Yet certain am I of the spot As if the chart were give."

"And neigh like Boanerges;
Then, punctual as a star,
Stop -- docile and omnipotent --
At its own stable door."

"The soul selects her own society,
Then shuts the door;
On her divine majority
Obtrude no more."

"I never spoke with God,
Nor visited in heaven;
Yet certain am I of the spot
As if the chart were given."

"I have not told my garden yet,
Lest that should conquer me;
I have not quite the strength now
To break it to the bee."

Sarah Durham said:

"There came a day at summer's full entirely for me;
I thought that such were for the saints, where revelations be."

Jered Johnston said:

"A precious, mouldering pleasure 't is
To meet an antique book,
In just the dress his century wore;
A privilege, I think," (Dickinson)

Jered Johnston said:

"To fit its sides, and crawl between,
Complaining all the while
In horrid, hooting stanza;
Then chase itself down hill" (Dickinson)
