Personal Effects Reveal/Quotes

"''Death sets a Thing significant The Eye had hurried by Except a perished Creature Entreat us tenderly

To ponder little Workmanships In Crayon, or in Wool, With "This was last Her fingers did"-- Industrious until--

The Thimble weighed too heavy-- The stitches stopped--by themselves-- And then 'twas put among the Dust Upon the Closet shelves--

A Book I have--a friend gave-- Whose Pencil--here and there-- Had notched the place that pleased Him-- At Rest--His fingers are--

Now--when I read--I read not-- For interrupting Tears-- Obliterate the Etchings Too Costly for Repairs.''"

- Emily Dickinson
