Dickinson/Samuel Bowles (the Younger) Correspondence: Poem 1616

poems from dickinson to samuel bowles (the younger)

Who abdicated Ambush
And went the way of Dusk,
Andn ow against his subtle Name
There stands an Asterisk
As confident of him as we -
Impregnable we are -
The whole of Immortality
Secreted in a Star.
