More on the poetry houses

Remember the houses made of Emily Dickinson's words? Well, it seems I will be able to interview their creator, so watch this space!

Meanwhile, I was back at his website, and I found a list of all the quotes. Wonderful treasure. With rearranging they could make a renga...

• Morning without you is a dwindled dawn
  
  
• Not knowing when the dawn will come I open every door
  
  
• The soul should always stand ajar
  
  
• One need not be a chamber to be haunted

There are some surprising quotes that must come from letters rather than poems. I liked these:

• I hope you love birds too. It is economical. It saves going to heaven.
  
  
• Dogs are better than human beings because they know but do not tell.

This one on death makes it sound like an adventure:

Dying is a wild night and a new road.

Then too, there are aphorisms for writers and other creative types:

• The Possible’s slow fuse is lit by the imagination.
  
  
• Luck is not chance, it's toil; fortune's expensive smile is earned.
  
  
• Finite to fail, but infinite to venture.

And this I loved:

Whenever a thing is done for the first time, it releases a little demon.
