Classic and Contemporary Poetry

WHILE I WAS A FEARING by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: A whole Existence through 
Subject(s): FEAR;
While we were fearing it, it came -
But came with less of fear
Because that fearing it so long
Had almost made it fair -

There is a Fitting - a Dismay -
A Fitting - a Despair
'Tis harder knowing it is Due
Than knowing it is Here.

They Trying on the Utmost
The Morning it is new
Is Terribler than wearing it
A whole existence through
