475 Doom is the House without the Door [German translation]

Doom is the House without the Door —

'Tis entered from the Sun —

And then the Ladder's thrown away,

Because Escape — is done —

'Tis varied by the Dream

Of what they do outside —

Where Squirrels play — and Berries dye —

And Hemlocks — bow — to God —

• Artist:Emily Dickinson
