341
After great pain, a formal feeling comes -
The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Tombs -
The stiff Heart questions was it He, that bore,
and Yesterday, or Centuries before?
The Feet, mechanical, go round -
Of Ground, or Air, or Ought -
A Wooden way
Regardless grown,
A Quartz contentment, like a stone -
This is the Hour of Lead
Remembered, if outlived
As Freezing persons, recollect the Snow-
First - Chill - the Stupor - then the letting go -
-Emily Dickinson
