A Charm invests a face
Imperfectly beheld—
The Lady dare not lift her Veil
For fear it be dispelled—
But peers beyond her mesh—
And wishes—and denies—
Lest Interview—annul a want
That Image—satisfies—
I'm doing a project on Emily Dickinson for my 11th grade American Literature class, and i need to find a poem by Miss Emily Dickinson and then analyze it, i chose this poem, but i don't really understand it, so if anybody could please explain it to me and help me to better understand it, i would be extremely grateful.
note to who ever submitted this Dickinson Poem: 'Dare' not date, simple typo.
yeah.so many of us still live in a perpetual effort to keep up the so called 'charm'
A profound write, full of intense emotions and brevity. A masterpiece of Emily Dickinson.
A typical ED Poem, oft a brevity. All with Dashes inbetween, but I must admit This Is a Classic Poem Of The Day. CONGRATULATIONS for the family of the late great classic poetess. True great, and Classic through and through. That´s EMILY DICKINSON in full person. May she rest in peace.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
hmm...i guess.. when she wrote this poem, she looked in the mirror, and admired her own face. but she's afraid to get old and lose her charm. haha...
