Emily Dickinson, “The admirations and contempts of time,” Fr830. Contrast and detail restored. The mark before “Tis” is not an apostrophe but the hole that Dickinson made with her needle when she sewed this poem into its fascicle. Emily Dickinson Archive, https://www.edickinson.org/

if we can attain to becoming an image, we can attain to becoming a self — that is, an object of perception knowably independent of its perceiver. What an idol communicates is only between itself and the god that speaks to itself through it. Before the idol, we perceivers are to learn to stop knowing and only see.
