EMILY DICKINSON

1830-1886

788                                                  Parting

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.
