Part Four: Time and Eternity

 

I

 

ONE dignity delays for all,

One mitred afternoon.

None can avoid this purple,

None evade this crown.

 

Coach it insures, and footmen,

Chamber and state and throng;

Bells, also, in the village,

As we ride grand along.

 

What dignified sttendants,

What service when we pause!

How loyally at parting

Their hundred hats they raise!

 

How pomp purpassing ermine,

When simple you and I

Present our meek escutcheon,

And claim the rank to die!

 

LXII

 

Our journey ahd advanced;

Our feet were almost come

To that add fork in Being's road,

Etermity by them.

 

Our pace took sudden awe,

Our feet reluctant led.

Before were cities, but between,

The forest of the dead.

 

Retreat was out of hope, —

Behind, a sealed route,

Eternity's white flag before,

And God at every gate.

 

CXLI

 

ON this wondrous sea,

Sailing silently,

Knowest thou the shore

Ho! pilot, ho!

Where no breakers roar,

Where the storm is o'er?

 

In the silent west

Many sails at rest,

Their anchors fast;

Thither I pilot thee, —

Land, ho! Eternity!

Ashore at last!

 

Emily Dickinson (1830–86).  Complete Poems. 1924
