Dickinson, Emily: (Her Losses make our Gains ashamed —)

Portre of Dickinson, Emily
Dickinson, Emily

(Her Losses make our Gains ashamed —) (English)

Her Losses make our Gains ashamed —
She bore Life's empty Pack
As gallantly as if the East
Were swinging at her Back.
Life's empty Pack is heaviest,
As every Porter knows —
In vain to punish Honey —
It only sweeter grows.
   
   
   
(1883 körül)
