Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson
With more than 100 of her poems collected between the covers of this book, you'll be able to enjoy plenty of poetry from one of America's favorite poets. This collection includes: "The Chariot," "Hope," "There's a Certain Slant of Light," and "I Taste a Liquor Never Brewed."
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 liberty to die.
