Emily Dickinson (10 December 1830 – 15 May 1886 / Amherst / Massachusetts)
Poems by Emily Dickinson : 185 / 1084
Denial—is the only fact
965
Denial—is the only fact
Perceived by the Denied—
Whose Will—a numb significance—
The Day the Heaven died—
And all the Earth strove common round—
Without Delight, or Beam—
What Comfort was it Wisdom—was—
The spoiler of Our Home?
