This World is not Conclusion by Emily Dickinson

Explore "This World is not Conclusion" by Emily Dickinson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

This world is not conclusion; / A sequel stands beyond, / Invisible, as music, / But positive, as sound.

It beckons and it baffles; / Philosophies don't know, / And through a riddle, at the last, / Sagacity must go.

To guess it puzzles scholars; / To gain it, men have shown / Contempt of generations, / And crucifixion known.
