Felicity

felicity: [fi-lis-i-tee] noun the state of being happy, especially in a high degree; something that causes happiness.


Elysium is as far as to
The very nearest room,
If in that room a friend await
Felicity or doom.

What fortitude the soul contains,
That it can so endure
The accent of a coming foot,
The opening of a door!

---Emily Dickinson
Part Three: Love
