Explore "Forbidden Fruit" by Emily Dickinson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Forbidden fruit a flavor has / That lawful orchards mocks; / How luscious lies the pea within / The pod that Duty locks!
Heaven is what I cannot reach!
The apple on the tree, / Provided it do hopeless hang, / That 'heaven' is, to me.
The color on the cruising cloud, / The interdicted ground / Behind the hill, the house behind, -- / There Paradise is found!
