Poem

No Man can compass a Despair

Emily Dickinson
477 No Man can compass a Despair— As round a Goalless Road No faster than a Mile at once The Traveller proceed— Unconscious of the Width— Unconscious that the Sun Be setting on His progress— So accurate the One At estimating Pain— Whose own—has just begun— His ignorance—the Angel That pilot Him along—
