To See Her is a Picture
.
By Emily Dickinson

To see her is a picture,
To hear her is a tune,
To know her an intemperance
As innocent as June;
By which to be undone
Is dearer than Redemption,
Which never to receive,
Makes mockery of melody
It might have been to live.

Look Into My Eyes

(Ben Heine © Cartoons)

.
Like Eyes That
Looked on Wastes

By Emily Dickinson

Like eyes that looked on Wastes—
Incredulous of Ought
But Blank—and steady Wilderness—
Diversified by Night—

Just Infinites of Nought—
As far as it could see—
So looked the face I looked upon—
So looked itself—on Me—

I offered it no Help—
Because the Cause was Mine—
The Misery a Compact
As hopeless—as divine—

Neither—would be absolved—
Neither would be a Queen
Without the Other—Therefore—
We perish—tho' We reign—
