THERE IS A PAIN - SO UTTER by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Would drop Him — Bone by Bone
Subject(s): PAIN; MEMORY;
There is a pain - so utter -
It swallows substance up -
Then covers the Abyss with Trance -
So Memory can step
Around - across - upon it -
As one within a Swoon -
Goes safely - where an open eye -
Would drop Him - Bone by Bone.
