Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part One: Life 71. Undue significance a starving man attaches

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.
