A journey they wish, if being of good deed and character, to share at the eternity of heaven’s largesse, a reward for faith and the obligations of religion.

"Un fiore o un libro" è una raccolta di brevi poesie di Emily Dickison nella versione in italiano di Roberto Malini. Per la Dickinson, la vocazione del poeta nasceva dal desiderio di migliorare l'essenza stessa dell'umano indagando oltre i confini del divino, alla ricerca di una purezza sempre più perfetta. Non a caso, paragonava la sua arte alla lotta di Giacobbe con l'angelo. Emily passò quasi tutta la sua vita nella casa natìa, che abbandonava solo per visite ai parenti.
