Poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

* * *

To hang our head ostensibly,
  And subsequent to find
That such was not the posture
  Of our immortal mind,

Affords the sly presumption
  That, in so dense a fuzz,
You, too, take cobweb attitudes
  Upon a plane of gauze!

1. Contrast
2. Ventures
3. Philosophy
4. This Merit Hath the Worst
5. Disenchantment
