Emily Dickinson Quotes About Sleep

Quotes about: Sleep

• I held a jewel in my fingers And went to sleep. The day was warm, and winds were prosy; I said: "'T will keep." I woke and chid my honest fingers,— The gem was gone; And now an amethyst remembrance Is all I own.

  Emily Dickinson

• Love can do all but raise the Dead I doubt if even that From such a giant were withheld Were flesh equivalent But love is tired and must sleep, And hungry and must graze And so abets the shining Fleet Till it is out of gaze.

  Tired, Sleep, Love Is

  Emily Dickinson, Ted Hughes (2011). “Emily Dickinson”, p.52, Faber & Faber

• The heart asks pleasure first,
  And then, excuse from pain;
  And then, those little anodynes
  That deaden suffering;
  And then, to go to sleep;
  And then, if it should be
  The will of its Inquisitor,
  The liberty to die.

  Emily Dickinson
