I like a look of Agony,
Because I know it's true-
Men do not sham Convulsion,
Nor stimulate, a Throe-
The Eyes glaze once- and that is Death-
Impossible to feign
the Beads upon the Forehead
By homely Anguish strung.
- Emily Dickinson
She is such an amazing poet... For my Women in Literature class, I have to pick one of her poems and write about it... what I feel it means, etc., so this is the one I chose. What are your takes on this? What do you think she is trying to get across or say in this poem?
