"My Life had stood – a Loaded Gun – In Corners – till a Day The Owner passed – identified – And carried Me away –"

"Parting is all we know of heaven, And all we need of hell."

"The Spider holds a Silver Ball In honor of the Dew – The Gnat's enamored of the Stone – And dances in the Air –"

"Forever — is composed of Nows —"

"I myself have a little cat, a German one, and though I have no right to it, I often steal a kiss of it."
