Dickinson/Holland Correspondence: Poem 1162

poems sent from dickinson to elizabeth holland

To Elizabeth Holland
From ED

The Life we have is very great.
The Life that we shall see
Surpasses it, we know, because
It is Infinity.
But when all Space has been beheld
And all Dominion shown
The smallest Human Heart's extent
Reduces it to none.
