Remorse -- is Memory -- awake -- <br />Her Parties all astir -- <br />A Presence of Departed Acts -- <br />At window -- and at Door -- <br /> <br />Its Past -- set down before the Soul <br />And lighted with a Match -- <br />Perusal -- to facilitate -- <br />And help Belief to stretch -- <br /> <br />Remorse is cureless -- the Disease <br />Not even God -- can heal -- <br />For 'tis His institution -- and <br />The Adequate of Hell --<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/remorse-3/
