    Emily Dickinson
    “She died--this was the way she died;
    And when her breath was done,
    Took up her simple wardrobe
    And started for the sun.
    Her little figure at the gate
    The angels must have spied,
    Since I could never find her
    Upon the mortal side.”
    ― Emily Dickinson, Selected Poems

You paint it. You dance it. You march it. You vote it. You do everything about it. You talk it. Never stop talking it.”
