Every time I open my Face Book page, and every time I turn on TV and see the great crushing crowds of the strident Presidential political campaigns, I think of Emily Dickinson's poem, and I smile.
I’M NOBODY- WHO ARE YOU?
(Emily Dickinson, 1830 - 1886)
(Emily Dickinson, 1830 - 1886)
"I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there’s a pair of us!
Don’t tell! they’d advertise – you know!
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there’s a pair of us!
Don’t tell! they’d advertise – you know!
How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one’s name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!"
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one’s name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!"
