We never know we go, — when we are going
We jest and shut the door;
Fate following behind us bolts it,
And we accost no more.

About Emily Dickinson

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886) was an American poet. Virtually unknown in her lifetime, Dickinson has come to be regarded as one of the greatest American poets of the 19th century. Although she wrote (at latest count) 1789 poems, only a few of them were published in her lifetime, all anonymously, and some perhaps without her knowledge.

Lad of Athens, faithful be
To thyself,
And Mystery -
All the rest is Perjury

There are depths in every Consciousness, from which we cannot rescue ourselves - to which none can go with us.

Heart, we will forget him! You and I, to-night! You may forget the warmth he gave, I will forget the light. When you have done, pray tell me, That I my thoughts may dim; Haste! lest while you're lagging, I may remember him!

We never know we go, — when we are going We jest and shut the door; Fate following behind us bolts it, And we accost no more. - Emily Dickinson
