Analysis of Undue Significance a starving man attaches
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
Undue Significance a starving man attaches
To Food—
Far off—He sighs—and therefore—Hopeless—
And therefore—Good—
Partaken- ;it relieves—indeed—
But proves us
That Spices fly
In the Receipt—It was the Distance—
Was Savory—
