Aceasta lume nu este o concluzie;
Dincolo de ea sta o urmare,
Nevazuta, asa cum e muzica,
Insa o certitudine, astfel cum e sunetul.

Dupa ce a murit, in camera ei au fost gasite manuscrisele, mii de versuri. Nimeni din familie nu banuise ca era poeta. Astazi este socotita una din marile poete ale literaturii americane, poate cea mai mare.
Cum arata? Un fost coleg din anii de scoala isi va aminti, peste ani, si va avea o fraza superba, she was not beautiful, yet she had great beauties. Ochii ei castanii erau calzi si blanzi, parul ei, tot castaniu, i se revarsa inelat peste umeri. Ii placea sa se imbrace in alb si ii placeau mult florile.
A fost vreodata indragostita? Sigur ca da. Dar a stiut sa isi pastreze taina in inima. Au ramas ciornele a patru scrisori - si indaratul frazelor conventionale traieste, urla patima, o patima care doare, fiindca si-a infranat-o atat de mult. Barbatul era un om al bisericii, un pastor, cu zece sau cinsprezece ani mai in varsta, casatorit si cu copii. Raspunsurile lui nu s-au pastrat. In anul acela ea a scris sute de poezii.
Pastorul a stiut sa reziste navalei sentimentelor - si s-a mutat undeva departe, in California.
Iar ea a devenit din ce in ce mai retrasa. Iesea rar din camera, din ce in ce mai rar - de obicei ca sa mearga la vanatoare, prin coclaurii Noii Anglii. Avea un tovaras de nadejde, un caine urias.
This World is not Conclusion.
A Species stands beyond—
Invisible, as Music—
But positive, as Sound—
It beckons, and it baffles—
Philosophy—don't know—
And through a Riddle, at the last—
Sagacity, must go—
To guess it, puzzles scholars—
To gain it, Men have borne
Contempt of Generations
And Crucifixion, shown—
Faith slips—and laughs, and rallies—
Blushes, if any see—
Plucks at a twig of Evidence—
And asks a Vane, the way—
Much Gesture, from the Pulpit—
Strong Hallelujahs roll—
Narcotics cannot still the Tooth
That nibbles at the soul—
