Analysis of I fear a Man of frugal Speech
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
I fear a Man of frugal Speech—
I fear a Silent Man—
Haranguer—I can overtake—
Or Babbler—entertain—
But He who weigheth—While the Rest—
Expend their furthest pound—
Of this Man—I am wary—
I fear that He is Grand—
