Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (Эмили Дикинсон)

The Rat

The rat is the concisest tenant.
He pays no rent, --
Repudiates the obligation,
On schemes intent.

Balking our wit
To sound or circumvent,
Hate cannot harm
A foe so reticent.

Neither decree
Prohibits him,
Lawful as
Equilibrium.

3. If the Foolish Call Them
4. Life's Trades
5. Unto My Books So Good to Turn

Edwin Robinson (Эдвин Робинсон) The Rat ("As often as he let himself be seen")
