this house of mine's br keyed to the world br its pleasure, its dismay br seventy two beats br to get me on my toes br the world's played out br in red blood passion br a hell, a heaven, br ecstasy, depression, br pleasure, pain br it does not take much br space for a full theatre br to run in full steam br in this house of mine br a heart and a head br are all i need br and by trades of these - br the whole world runs br br inspired by br br 'Houses'—so the Wise Men tell me br 'Houses'—so the Wise Men tell me— br 'Mansions'! Mansions must be warm! br Mansions cannot let the tears in, br Mansions must exclude the storm! br 'Many Mansions, ' by 'his Father, ' br I don't know him; snugly built! br Could the Children find the way there— br Some, would even trudge tonight! br Emily Dickinsonbr br john tiong chunghoobr br
