Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924. |
Part Five: The Single Hound XXIV |
| THE DIFFERENCE between despair | |
| And fear, is like the one | |
| Between the instant of a wreck, | |
| And when the wreck has been. | |
| The mind is smooth,—no motion— | 5 |
| Contented as the eye | |
| Upon the forehead of a Bust, | |
| That knows it cannot see. |
