    “They say that ‘Time assuages’…” by Emily Dickinson

    They say that “Time assuages”—
    Time never did assuage—
    An actual suffering strengthens, As sinews do, with age—
     
    Time is a Test of Trouble—
    But not a Remedy—
    If such it prove, it prove too
    There was no Malady—
