Selections from Emiy Dickenson- to suit my mood...

.XX.

That I did always love,
I bring thee proof:
That till i loved
I did not love enough.

That i shall love alway,
I offer thee
That love is life,
And life hath immortality.

This, dost thou doubt, sweet?
Then have I
Nothing to show
But Cavalry

.XXV.

I asked no other thing,
No other was denied.
I offered Being for it;
The mighty merchant smiled.

.XXIV.

'Tis little I could care for pearls
Who own the ample sea;
Or brootches, when the Emperor
With rubies pelted me;

Or gold, who am the Prince of Mines;
Or diamonds, when I see
A diadem to fit a dome
Continual crowning me.

***

.X.

I taste a liquor never brewed,
From tankards scooped in pearl;
Not all the vats upn the Rhine
Yield such an alcohol!
