“A Word is Dead

A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.

I say it just
Begins to live
That day.”
― Emily Dickinson, The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

“may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.”
― E.E. Cummings

“After all, my erstwhile dear,
My no longer cherished,
Need we say it was not love,
Just because it perished?”
― Edna St. Vincent Millay, Collected Poems

“Winter solitude-
in a world of one colour
the sound of the wind.”
― Basho Matsuo
