Emily Dickinson

10 December 1830 – 15 May 1886 / Amherst / Massachusetts

My Life Closed Twice

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.
