От Жизни брать -
И Жизнь черпать -
Но дна вовек не ощущать...
[David Preest:
In a letter (L413) to Thomas Higginson of late May 1874
Emily highly praises Higginson’s new poem called Decoration.
She ends the praise with the words, ‘You have experienced
sanctity. To me it is untried’ and then follows the poem,
in which she is presumably saying that, unlike Higginson,
she has not yet touched the deepest things at the bottom of
the reservoir of life, such as writing a comparable poem herself.]
