The healed Heart shows its shallow scar
With confidential moan --
Not mended by Mortality
Are Fabrics truly torn --
To go its convalescent way
So shameless is to see
More genuine were Perfidy
Than such Fidelity.
(The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson)

Although -- I knew -- to take it --
Would cost me -- just a life!

Is all we know of Love;

Proportioned to the groove.

To say good-by to men.

But nature is a stranger yet;
The ones that cite her most
Have never passed her haunted house,
Nor simplified her ghost.
