letters from dickinson to mary and eben loomis

autumn 1884


Parting with Thee reluctantly,
That we have never met,
A Heart sometimes a Foreigner,
Remembers it forgot -

In all the circumference of Expression, those guileless words of Adam and Eve never were surpassed, "I was afraid and hid Myself."

E. Dickinson -
