Emily Dickinson - Drowning is not so pitiful
Drowning is not so pitiful
As the attempt to rise
Three times, \'tis said, a sinking man
Comes up to face the skies,
And then declines forever
To that abhorred abode,
Where hope and he part company --
For he is grasped of God.
The Maker\'s cordial visage,
However good to see,
Is shunned, we must admit it,
Like an adversity.
Awakening - she learns to swim at outset of story and how to drown at finale.
