Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924. Part Three: Love XLII TO lose thee, sweeter than to gain All other hearts I knew. ’T is true the drought is destitute, But then I had the dew! The Caspian has its realms of sand, Its other realm of sea; Without the sterile perquisite No Caspian could be.
