Friday poem: As if the Sea Should Part

Emily Dickinson uses the sea to depict eternity.

As if the Sea Should Part – Emily Dickinson

695.

As if the Sea should part
And show a further Sea —
And that — a further — and the Three
But a presumption be —

Of Periods of Seas —
Unvisited of Shores —
Themselves the Verge of Seas to be —
Eternity — is Those —
