    Emily Dickinson
    “I measure every Grief I meet
    With narrow, probing, Eyes;
    I wonder if It weighs like Mine,
    Or has an Easier size.

    I wonder if They bore it long,
    Or did it just begin?
    I could not tell the Date of Mine,
    It feels so old a pain.

    I wonder if it hurts to live,
    And if They have to try,
    And whether, could They choose between,
    It would not be, to die.

    I note that Some --
    gone patient long --
    At length, renew their smile.
    An imitation of a Light
    That has so little Oil.

    I wonder if when Years have piled,
    Some Thousands -- on the Harm
    Of early hurt -- if such a lapse
    Could give them any Balm;

    Or would they go on aching still
    Through Centuries above,
    Enlightened to a larger Pain
    By Contrast with the Love.

    The Grieved are many,
    I am told;
    The reason deeper lies, --
    Death is but one
    and comes but once,
    And only nails the eyes.

    There's Grief of Want
    and Grief of Cold, --
    A sort they call "Despair";
    There's Banishment from native Eyes,
    In sight of Native Air.

    And though I may not guess the kind
    Correctly, yet to me
    A piercing Comfort it affords
    In passing Calvary,

    To note the fashions of the Cross,
    And how they're mostly worn,
    Still fascinated to presume
    That Some are like My Own.”
    Emily Dickinson, I'm Nobody! Who Are You?

    Emily Dickinson
    “Tell all the Truth but tell it slant--
    Success in Circuit lies
    Too bright for our infirm Delight
    The Truth's superb surprise

    As Lightning to the Children eased
    With explanation kind
    The Truth must dazzle gradually
    Or every man be blind--”
    Emily Dickinson
