A SPIDER SEWED AT NIGHT by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Did wrestle long and hard —
Subject(s): SPIDERS; IMMORTALITY;

A Spider sewed at Night
Without a Light
Upon an Arc of White.

If Ruff it was of Dame
Or Shroud of Gnome
Himself himself inform.

Of Immortality
His Strategy
Was Physiognomy.
