Poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

A Word

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

1. Contrast
2. The Nearest Dream Recedes, Unrealized
3. This Merit Hath the Worst
4. Who Robbed the Woods
5. Going to Heaven!

Gilbert Chesterton A Word ("A word came forth in Galilee, a word like to a star")
