Analysis of Just as He spoke it from his Hands
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
Just as He spoke it from his Hands
This Edifice remain—
A Turret more, a Turret less
Dishonor his Design—
According as his skill prefer
It perish, or endure—
Content, soe'er, it ornament
His absent character.
