Parting with a world

Here's some verse from the ever-wonderful  Emily Dickinson ...

... photo is looking across The Meadows, with Arthur's Seat just visible in the distance; as taken earlier this afternoon:


Ending

That is solemn we have ended,—
Be it but a play,
Or a glee among the garrets,
Or a holiday,

Or a leaving home; or later,
Parting with a world
We have understood, for better
Still it be unfurled.

Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886)
