Poem A Day Open in app

Classic poem

Suspense -- is Hostiler than Death --

by Emily Dickinson

Suspense -- is Hostiler than Death --

Death -- tho'soever Broad,

Is Just Death, and cannot increase --

Suspense -- does not conclude --

But perishes -- to live anew --

But just anew to die --

Annihilation -- plated fresh

With Immortality --
