Nature Appoints the Sun
and there is Astronomy
but Nature cannot make Love
and there is Astrology.

- e. dickinson aprés Claire Malroux et moi
It seems to me the Grass is happy
To grow during Intermission
but summarily dismissed it is
at Summer's discretion.

- e. dickinson aprés Claire Malroux et moi
Take away everything
but that thing worth thievery -
Immortality

- e. dickinson aprés Claire Malroux et moi
A certain Ray I save
of an Extraordinary Light -
To aid me in my Quest
and Clarify my Sight.

- e. dickinson aprés Claire Malroux et moi
The sorry "why" of love
is all that love can speak
but with that single syllable
the biggest hearts it breaks

- e. dickinson aprés Claire Malroux et moi
The Vanity of all that is Earthly
Is the Refrain that Nature Sings
for She Blesses with her Beauty -
yet undoes Every Thing.

- e. dickinson aprés Claire Malroux et moi
Dark was his heart - as a night without stars
though She possessed a Morning in her Eyes -
But in that Black Container
No Dawn could arise.
