PARTING

PARTING

My life closed twice before its close;It yet remains to seeIf Immortality unveilA third event to me.So huge, so hopeless to conceive,As these that twice befell;Parting is all we know of heaven,And all we need of hell.Emily Dickinson

My life closed twice before its close;It yet remains to seeIf Immortality unveilA third event to me.

My life closed twice before its close;

It yet remains to see

If Immortality unveil

A third event to me.

So huge, so hopeless to conceive,As these that twice befell;Parting is all we know of heaven,And all we need of hell.

So huge, so hopeless to conceive,

As these that twice befell;

Parting is all we know of heaven,

And all we need of hell.

Emily Dickinson
