Nikol’s Reviews > Hope Is the Thing With Feathers: The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson > Status Update

This poem hit close to home today:

I many times thought peace had come,
When peace was far away;
As wrecked men deem they sight the land
At center of the see,

And struggle slacker, but to prove,
As hopelessly as I,
How many the fictitious shores
Before the harbor lie.
