Emily Dickinson: Quotes about love

“Love — thou art Veiled —
A few — behold thee —
Smile — and alter — and prattle — and die —
Bliss — were an Oddity — without thee —
Nicknamed by God —
Eternity”

“Unable are the loved to die. For love is immortality.”

“That I shall love always,
I argue thee
that love is life,
and life hath immortality”

“We outgrow love, like other things
And put it in the Drawer —
Till it an Antique fashion shows —
Like Costumes Grandsires wore.”

“Love is anterior to life,
Posterior to death,
Initial of creation, and
The exponent of breath.”

“Write me of hope and love, and hearts that endured.”

“My love for those I love -- not many -- not very many, but don't I love them so?”

“That love is all there is, Is all we know of love.”

“Till it has loved, no man or woman can become itself.”

“Love is its own rescue; for we, at our supremest, are but its trembling emblems.”

“I hope you love birds too. It is economical. It saves going to heaven.”

“Till I loved I never liked enough.”

“The bustle in a house
The morning after death
Is solemnest of industries
Enacted upon earth,--
The sweeping up the heart,
And putting love away
We shall not want to use again
Until eternity”

“This is my letter to the World
That never wrote to Me —
The simple News that Nature told —
With tender Majesty

Her Message is committed
To Hands I cannot see —
For love of Her — Sweet — countrymen —
Judge tenderly — of Me”

“Who has not found the heaven below
Will fail of it above.
God’s residence is next to mine,
His furniture is love.”
