ALIAS GRACE
Ourself behind ourself, concealed –
Should startle most –
Assassin hid in our apartment
Be Horror's least.
- Emily Dickinson
... for it is the fate of a woman
Long to be patient and silent, to wait like a ghost that is speechless
Till some questioning voice dissolves the spell of its silence
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
A shadow flits before me,
Not thou, but like to thee:
Ah Christ, that it were possible
For one short hour to see
The souls we loved, that they might tell us
What and where they be!
- Lord Tennyson
Blessed are all simple emotions,
be they dark or bright!
It is the lurid intermixture of the two
that produces the illumiating
blaze of the infernal regions.
- Nathaniel Hawthorne
... the death, then, of a beautiful
woman is, unquestionably, the most
poetical topic in the world...
- Edgar Allan Poe
I felt a Cleaving in my mind –
As if my brain had split –
I tried to match it – Seam by Seam –
But could not make it fit.
- Emily Dickinson
