  Emily Dickinson (2016). “The Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson”, p.59, First Avenue Editions

• Love is like the wild rose-briar; Friendship like the holly-tree. The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms, But which will bloom most constantly? The wild rose-briar is sweet in spring ,Its summer blossoms scent the air; Yet wait till winter comes again, And who will call the wild-briar fair? Then, scorn the silly rose-wreath now, And deck thee with holly's sheen, That, when December blights thy brow, He still may leave thy garland green.

  Emily Dickinson

  Summer, Sweet, Spring

• There's a certain Slant of light, Winter afternoons— That oppresses, like the Heft Of Cathedral Tunes— Heavenly Hurt, it gives us— We can find no scar, But internal difference, Where the Meanings, are.... When it comes, the Landscape listens— Shadows—hold their breath— When it goes, 'tis like the Distance On the look of Death.

  Emily Dickinson

  Hurt, Distance, Winter

  'There's a certain Slant of light' (c.1861)

• The dandelion's pallid tube
  Astonishes the grass,
  And winter instantly becomes
  An infinite alas.

  Emily Dickinson

  Winter, Dandelions, Infinite

  Emily Dickinson, Ralph William Franklin (1998). “The Poems of Emily Dickinson”, p.1368, Harvard University Press
