I Had No
Time to Hate
by Emily Dickinson

I HAD no time to hate, because
The grave would hinder me,
And life was not so ample I
Could finish enmity.

Nor had I time to love; but since
Some industry must be,
The little toil of love, I thought,
Was large enough for me.

"Emily called Cape Jasmin the holiest flower that grows," her sister, Lavinia Dickinson, recalled, "She was in love with every wild flower, and when we were little children we used to spend entire days in the woods hunting for treasures The most delicate and rare flowers never failed to bloom for Emily, however impossible their rearing was to others."
