Pain--has an Element of Blank-- <br />It cannot recollect <br />When it begun--or if there were <br />A time when it was not-- <br /> <br />It has no Future--but itself-- <br />Its Infinite 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-of-blank/
