Apocalypse
"Apocalypse" is a short poem by Emily Dickinson in which a speaker declares herself a wife and looks back at the girl she used to be. Her tone is clipped and defiant, and she calls herself both Czar and woman. She finds comfort in her new state and pain in the old, yet she refuses to compare them. Her last words are an abrupt command: stop there. Beneath the certainty runs a quiet question about what was lost.
