[David Preest:
This poem was enclosed as a penciled note in a letter
to Mrs Holland. Something good has happened for Emily
that morning, perhaps a letter arriving from Mrs Holland.
She wants to keep a full Memory of ‘this Morning’s finest
syllable’ by putting a ‘perfect Lid’ on it.
‘Presumptuous Evening’ had said the good thing would
happen, but she hadn’t been able to believe it.]

When Memory is full by Emily Dickinson
When Memory is full
Put on the perfect Lid --
This Morning's finest syllable
Presumptuous Evening said --
