I never lost as much but twice
In "I never lost as much but twice," Emily Dickinson turns personal loss into a startling, compact confession. A speaker twice stands as a beggar before the door of God, emptied by grief, then twice finds her store restored by descending angels. Yet the final lines carry a sharp, wry sorrow, as she names burglar, banker, and father in one breath. Brief, dense, and quietly defiant, this poem rewards slow rereading.
