Analysis of I sometimes drop it, for a Quick
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
I sometimes drop it, for a Quick—
The Thought to be alive—
Anonymous Delight to know—
And Madder—to conceive—
Consoles a Woe so monstrous
That did it tear all Day,
Without an instant's Respite—
'Twould look too far—to Die—
