Till Death – is narrow Loving –
The scantest Heart extant
Will hold you till your privilege
Of Finiteness – be spent –
But He whose loss procures you
Such Destitution that
Your Life too abject for itself
Thenceforward imitate –
Until – Resemblance perfect –
Yourself, for His pursuit
Delight of Nature – abdicate –
Exhibit Love – somewhat –
– Emily Dickinson (1864)
