Pain has an element of blank; <br />It cannot recollect <br />When it began, or if there were <br />A day when it was not. <br /> <br />It has no future but itself, <br />Its infinite realms contain <br />Its past, enlightened to perceive <br />New periods of pain.<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pain-has-an-element/
