Gee-rowl!! You've all discovered my not-so-secret love of literature!

Seriously, though - quote a song lyric or a quote from a poem and you're mine...

I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody too?
Then there's the pair of us - Don't tell!
They'd banish us you know!


I <3 Emily Dickinson!

Hey FP, have you read One Hundred Years Of Solitude...I am reading that now and I LOVE it!

Kenny - I haven't read OHYoS but I've heard of it. I'll write it down and look into it.

Mmm, Dickinson is one of my favorites! She's brilliant... I love Whitman's "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd." I read it every-so-often to remind myself of how wonderful it is! Here's one of my favorite ED poems:

A little overflowing word
That any, hearing, had inferred
For Ardor or for Tears,
Though Generations pass away,
Traditions ripen and decay,
As eloquent apears--

They shut me up in Prose -
As when a little girl.
They lock me in the closet -
Because they liked me - still.

Still? Could themselves have peeped
And seen my brain go round -
Thy might as well have lodged a bird -
For treason - In the pound -

Who has but to will
And easy as a star,
Abolish his captivity -
And laugh - No more have I.

That is one of my Faves!

Hee, okay, so I hate posting a bunch of stuff that only interests me and a few others, but....

I was timid in posting this one at first because it's pretty...depressing. But it's such a great Dickinson poem I had to type it up for you all. I'm sure you've heard of it...

The Heart asks Pleasure--first--
And then--Excuse from Pain--
And then--those little Anodynes
That deaden suffering--

And then--to go to sleep--
And then--if it should be
The will of its Inquisitor
The privilege to die--

Honestly, the melancholy/death poems are my favorites.

Yea, I read that once somewhere...but ED is at her best when she is writing about death xD

Thanks for swapping poetry with me, Kenny! This makes me happy.

It is no problem, I didn't even have to get up I knew those two by heart! But there is one ED poem I loved, but I can't for the life of me remember it. It was something about a road, and a light....rofl...but it was great...I wrote an essay comparing it to Acquainted with the night

Well, since I happen to have a book next to me filled with ED poetry, I'll try to find the one you're talking about!

Have you ever listened to "Howl" by Allen Ginsberg? Crikey - everyone should listen to that poem at least once in their lives! You don't get the same understanding with a straight read-through...

No, I haven't read that poem, I will check it out though! And thanks for looking it up for me ^^

I haven't found it so far that I know of...but "light" and "road" are sorta hard topics to go on. I'm still looking! I'm determined to find it now.

Ok, there is also a house, and she says her love, or maybe it was her...someone leaves the house xD

Oh boy...I think I'm in over my head, here! Maybe I'll type a few choice words into trusty ol' Google...
