When I hoped I feared -- Since I hoped I dared Everywhere alone As a Church remain -- Spectre cannot harm -- Serpent cannot charm -- He deposes Doom Who hath suffered him --
Emily Dickinson
When I hoped I feared -- Since I hoped I dared Everywhere alone As a Church remain -- Spectre cannot harm -- Serpent cannot charm -- He deposes Doom Who hath suffered him --
Dickinson’s speaker captures the push-pull of hope: the moment you allow yourself to want something, fear rushes in. But that same hope forces you to act, to dare, despite the isolation it can bring. The speaker stands alone, like a solitary church—a structure that endures, silent and unshaken.
