The Admirations-and Contempts-of time-
Show justest-through an Open Tomb-
The Dying-as it were a Height
Reorganizes Estimate
And what We saw not
We distinguish clear-
And mostly-see not
What We saw before-
‘Tis Compound Vision-
Light-enabling Light-
The Finite-furnished
With the Infinite-
Convex-and Concave Witness-
Back-toward Time-
And forward-
Toward the God of Him-
(Emily Dickinson)
