Emily Dickinson Quote

A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live that day.


poem no. 1212, c. 1872


A word is dead When it is said, Some say. I say it just Begins to live that day.

A word is dead When it is said, Some say. I say it just Begins to live that day.

A word is dead When it is said, Some say. I say it just Begins to live that day.

A word is dead When it is said, Some say. I say it just Begins to live that day.
