My Virtual Reading Room

konstansa was having an interesting discussion about love, not too long ago, in her LJ...to me, this is love:

You must let me
go first, Sue, because
I live in the Sea
always and know
the Road--
I would have drowned
twice to save
you sinking, dear,
If I could only
have covered your
Eyes so you wouldn't
have seen the Water--

(Emily Dickinson to Susan H. Dickinson, her close friend and sister-in-law)
(and yes, she got her wish)
