Whether they have forgotten
Or are forgetting now
Or never remembered -
Safer not to know -
Miseries of conjecture
Are a softer woe
Than a Fact of Iron
Hardened with I know -
More verses by Emily Dickinson
- The Beggar at the Door for Fame
- Praise it - 'tis dead -
- 'Tomorrow' - whose location
- Best Witchcraft is Geometry
- As old as Woe
