Бог без причин не явит действ,
сердец, где цели нет,
и преждевремен вывод наш,
нас предпослав к вине.
[David Preest:
This poem concludes a letter (L357) of December 1870
to her cousins. Emily tries to comfort them in their
pain and sorrow, perhaps at someone’s death, by writing,
‘I am sure you will gain, even from this wormwood.
The martyrs may not choose their food.’ This thought
is then reinforced by the poem, the ‘inference’ presumably
being that the early death is without reason, and
the ‘premise’ that their hearts now have no aim.]

God made no act without a cause, by Emily Dickinson
God made no act without a cause,
Nor heart without an aim,
Our inference is premature,
Our premises to blame.
