3 From THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF EMILY DICKINSON




Before—a Plank between two Cliffs 
Slant over the Abyss—
Behind me—Clouds that mourn and lower
Throughout Eternities—

Horizons of wide Silence—List—
As—less than Decimal—
I feel the Universe lean down—
        To watch when I shall fall—

  1. "Less than Decimal"----worthy of Dickinson herself!
