721 <br /> <br />Behind Me—dips Eternity— <br />Before Me—Immortality— <br />Myself—the Term between— <br />Death but the Drift of Eastern Gray, <br />Dissolving into Dawn away, <br />Before the West begin— <br /> <br />'Tis Kingdoms—afterward—they say— <br />In perfect—pauseless Monarchy— <br />Whose Prince—is Son of None— <br />Himself—His Dateless Dynasty— <br />Himself—Himself diversify— <br />In Duplicate divine— <br /> <br />'Tis Miracle before Me—then— <br />'Tis Miracle behind—between— <br />A Crescent in the Sea— <br />With Midnight to the North of Her— <br />And Midnight to the South of Her— <br />And Maelstrom—in the Sky—<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/behind-me-mdash-dips-eternity/
