Despair’s advantage is achieved
By suffering — Despair —
To be assisted of Reverse
One must Reverse have bore –

The Worthiness of Suffering like
The Worthiness of Death
Is ascertained by tasting —

As can no other Mouth

Of Savors — make us conscious —
As did ourselves partake —
Affliction feels impalpable
Until Ourselves are struck –
-Emily Dickinson
