I am nobody ! Who are you ?

Are you nobody, too ?

Then there’s a pair of us – don’t tell !

They’d banish us, you know.

How dreary to be somebody !

How public, like a frog

To tell your name the livelong day

To an admiring bog ! – Emily Dickenson

                                                     /Bois de Boulogne, Paris/

                                                                /Don Quixote, Cervantes/

There is no frigate like a book

To take us lands away,

Nor any coursers like a page

Of prancing poetry.

This traverse may the poorest take

Without oppress of toll.

How frugal is the chariot

That bears a human soul ! – Emily Dickinson

                                                                    / Paris /

Find ecstasy in life;

the mere sense of living is joy enough.  Emily Dickinson

Trouver l’extase dans la vie;

le sens même de vie est joie.  Emily Dickinson
