“Es ist eine gefährliche Sache, aus deiner Tür hinaus zu gehen. Du betrittst die Straße und wenn du nicht auf deine Füße aufpasst, kann man nicht wissen, wohin sie dich tragen.”
― The Fellowship of the Ring

“It might be lonelier
Without the Loneliness —
I'm so accustomed to my Fate —
Perhaps the Other — Peace —
Would interrupt the Dark —
And crowd the little Room —
Too scant — by Cubits — to contain
The Sacrament — of Him —
I am not used to Hope —

Its sweet parade — blaspheme the place —
Ordained to Suffering —
It might be easier
To fail — with Land in Sight —
Than gain — My Blue Peninsula —
To perish — of Delight —
F535 (1863) J405”
― The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson
