"Forever - is composed of Nows"

Emily Dickenson

TEXT OF COMPLETE POEM:

Forever — is composed of Nows — ‘Tis not a different time — Except for Infiniteness — And Latitude of Home —

From this — experienced Here — Remove the Dates — to These — Let Months dissolve in further Months — And Years — exhale in Years —

Without Debate — or Pause — Or Celebrated Days — No different Our Years would be From Anno Domini’s –

— from The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson, Edited by Thomas H. Johnson
