The Mystery of Pain
The Mystery of Pain is a short Emily Dickinson poem that gives suffering a strange, almost abstract face. In just two stanzas, it describes pain as a blank element that cannot recall its beginning or imagine a day without itself. Time collapses into one endless present, where the past only teaches the mind to expect fresh agonies. It is a quiet, unsettling meditation that lingers long after the last line.
