  • EMILY DICKINSON, poem. 
       THE FUTURE never spoke,	
   Nor will he, like the Dumb,	
   Reveal by sign or syllable	
   Of his profound To-come.	
   But when the news be ripe,	        
   Presents it in the Act—	
   Forestalling preparation	
   Escape or substitute.	
   Indifferent to him	
   The Dower as the Doom,	        
   His office but to execute	
   Fate’s Telegram to him.
