A Route of Evanescence, (1489)
- by Emily Dickinson

A Route of Evanescence,
With a revolving Wheel –
A Resonance of Emerald
A Rush of Cochineal –
And every Blossom on the Bush
Adjusts its tumbled Head –
The Mail from Tunis – probably,
An easy Morning’s Ride –

Success is counted sweetest;
By those who ne’er succeed.

À Thomas Wentworth Higginson

[février 1863] Amherst

Cher Ami,
[…] Je pensais aujourd’hui — parce que je m’en suis soudain rendu compte —, que le « Surnaturel » n’est rien d’autre que le naturel dévoilé —
Ce n’est pas la « Révélation » — l’Apocalypse — qui attend.
Mais nos yeux dépeuplés —

Emily Dickinson, Extrait de Un volcan silencieux, la vie.

To be alive--is Power-- / Existence--in itself-- / Without a further function-- / Omnipotence--Enough-- / / To be alive--and Will! / 'Tis able as a God-- / The Maker--of Ourselves--be what-- / Such being Finitude!
-- Emily Dickinson
