XII REAL

Time and Eternity





XII REAL, TIME AND ETERNITY by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson
An eText from LiteratureClassics.com.

I like a look of agony,
Because I know it 's true;
Men do not sham convulsion,
Nor simulate a throe.

The eyes glaze once, and that is death.
Impossible to feign
The beads upon the forehead
By homely anguish strung.
