ONE DAY IS THERE OF THE SERIES by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Twere Thanksgiving Day
Subject(s): THANKSGIVING DAY;

One Day is there of the Series
Termed Thanksgiving Day.
Celebrated part at Table
Part in Memory.

Neither Patriarch nor Pussy
I dissect the Play
Seems it to my Hooded thinking
Reflex Holiday.

Had there been no sharp Subtraction
From the early Sum -
Not an Acre or a Caption
Where was once a Room -

Not a Mention, whose small Pebble
Wrinkled any Sea,
Unto Such, were such Assembly
'Twere Thanksgiving Day
