Those fair -- fictitious People

Emily DickinsonContemplative

Those fair -- fictitious People -- The Women -- plucked away From our familiar Lifetime -- The Men of Ivory --

Those Boys and Girls, in Canvas -- Who stay upon the Wall In Everlasting Keepsake -- Can Anybody tell?

We trust -- in places perfecter -- Inheriting Delight Beyond our faint Conjecture -- Our dizzy Estimate --

Remembering ourselves, we trust -- Yet Blesseder -- than We -- Through Knowing -- where We only hope -- Receiving -- where we -- pray --

Of Expectation -- also -- Anticipating us With transport, that would be a pain Except for Holiness --

Esteeming us -- as Exile -- Themself -- admitted Home -- Through easy Miracle of Death -- The Way ourself, must come --

Emily Dickinson
