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

Part Five: The Single Hound

XC

THE OVERTAKELESSNESS of those

Who have accomplished Death,

Majestic to me beyond

The majesties of Earth.

The soul her “not at Home”

Inscribes upon the flesh,

And takes her fair aerial gait

Beyond the hope of touch.
