Explore "He Touched me, so I Live to Know" by Emily Dickinson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
He touched me, so I live to know / That such a day, permitted so, / I groped upon his breast.
It was a boundless place to me, / And silenced, as the awful sea / Puts minor streams to rest.
And now, I'm different from before, / As if I breathed superior air, / Or brushed a royal gown; / My feet, too, that had wandered so, / My gypsy face transfigured now / To tenderer renown.
