One need not be a Chamber – to be Haunted – One need not be a House – The Brain has Corridors – surpassing Material Place –

Emily Dickinson
One need not be a Chamber – to be Haunted...
One need not be a Chamber – to be Haunted...
One need not be a Chamber – to be Haunted...
One need not be a Chamber – to be Haunted...
About This Quote

The brain has corridors. Surpassing material place means that the brain is more important than the physical location of the body. The message here is that all of existence is just an illusion, and that none of us truly exist anywhere. It's just a thought in our heads. We are free to create our own reality to suit our desires, just like characters in a novel or words on a page.
