“That love is all there is, / Is all we know of love.”

About this quote
Dickinson folds a line of her own into a four-line riddle about how little can be said on the subject, then closes that love is the only cargo a heart can carry. The poem is less about romance than about capacity, which is why it sits well beside the more decorative love verses.
