the Giant in the Human Heart

Parting is one of the exactions 

of a Mortal Life. 

It is bleak—like Dying, 

but occurs more times. 

 

To escape the former, 

some invite the last. 

The Giant in the Human Heart 

was never met outside. 

 

[Emily Dickinson {1830-1886} from a letter to Elizabeth Holland, in New Poems of Emily Dickinson]
