Emily Dickinson — Letter 273 1862? - no ms. Louise and Frances Norcross

... Uncle told us you were too busy. Fold your little hands - the heart is the only workman we cannot excuse. ... Gratitude is not the mention of a tenderness, but its mute appreciation, deeper than we reach - all our LORD demands, who sizes better knows than we. Willing unto death, if only we perceive He die.
