Almost (Seven voice/violin settings of Emily Dickinson) performed by Emma Tring and Robin Martin

Almost seven poems: The poems (capital letters, comas etc exactly as written by ED for the start/end of each line) 1) Almost! Within my reach! I could have touched! I might have chanced that way! Soft sauntered through the village, Sauntered as soft away! So unsuspected violets Within the fields lie low, Too late for striving fingers That passed, an hour ago. 2) Now I have no life but this, To lead it here; Nor any death, but lest Dispelled from there; Nor tie to earths to come, Nor action new, Except through this extent, The realm of you. 3) Delight becomes Delight becomes pictorial, When viewed through pain, - More fair, because impossible That any gain. The mountain at a given distance In amber lies; Approached, the amber flits a little, - And that's the skies! 4) Secrets The skies can't keep their secret! They tell it to the hills -The hills just tell the orchards - And they the daffodils! A bird, by chance, that goes that way Soft overheard the whole. If I should bribe the little bird, Who knows but she would tell? I think I won't, however, It's finer not to know; If summer were an axiom, What sorcery had snow? So keep your secret, Father! I would not, if I could, Know what the sapphire fellows do, In your new-fashioned world! 5) As by the dead As by the dead we love to sit, Become so wondrous dear, As for the lost we grapple, Though all the rest are here, - In broken mathematics We estimate our prize, Vast, in its fading ratio, To our penurious eyes! 6) Griefs I measure every grief I meet with analytic eyes; I wonder if it weighs like mine, Or has an easier size. I wonder if they bore it long, Or did it just begin? I could not tell the date of mine, It feels so old a pain. I wonder if it hurts to live, And if they have to try, And whether, could they choose between, They would not rather die. I wonder if when years have piled - Some thousands - on the cause Of early hurt, if such a lapes Could give them any pause; Or would they go on aching still Through centuries above, Enlightened to a larger pain By contrast with the love. The grieved are many, I am told; The reason deeper lies, - Death is but one and comes but once, And only nails the eyes. There's grief of want, and grief of cold, - A sort they call 'despair;' There's banishment from native eyes, In sight of native air. And though I may not guess the kind Correctly, yet to me A piercing comfort it affords In passing Calvary, To note the fashions of the cross, Of those that stand alone, Still fascinated to presume That some are like my own. 7) Numen Lumen I live with him, I see his face; I go no more away For visitor, or sundown; Death's single privacy, The only one forestalling mine, And that by right that he Presents a claim invisible, No wedlock granted me. I live with him, I hear his voice, I stand alive to-day To witness to the certainty Of immortality Taught me by Time, - the lower way, Conviction every day, - That life like this is endless, Be judgment what it may.
