Drama's Vitallest Expression is the Common Day
That arise and set about Us—
Other Tragedy
Perish in the Recitation—
This—the best enact
When the Audience is scattered
And the Boxes shut—
"Hamlet" to Himself were Hamlet—
Had not Shakespeare wrote—
Though the "Romeo" left no Record
Of his Juliet,
It were infinite enacted
In the Human Heart—
Only Theatre recorded
Owner cannot shut—
More verses by Emily Dickinson
- Forever—it Composed Of Nows
- Summer For Thee, Grant I May Be
- I Like To See It Lap The Miles,
- It Don'T Sound So Terrible—quite—as It Did
- Before He Comes We Weigh The Time!
