I DWELL IN POSSIBILITY

July 12, 2023

I love this image of Emily Dickinson, Daguerreotype. ca. 1847.

I adore the dress she is wearing.

I love her poetry.

by Emily Dickinson

I dwell in Possibility –

A fairer House than Prose –

More numerous of Windows –

Superior – for Doors –

Of Chambers as the Cedars –

Impregnable of eye –

And for an everlasting Roof

The Gambrels of the Sky –

Of Visitors – the fairest –

For Occupation – This –

The spreading wide my narrow Hands

To gather Paradise –
