AUCTIONEER OF PARTING by EMILY DICKINSON

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

Last Line: TO TWO - NOT AT MORE
Subject(s): ABSENCE;
The Auctioneer of Parting
His "Going, going, gone"
Shouts even from the Crucifix,
And brings his Hammer down -
He only sells the Wilderness,
The prices of Despair
Range from a single human Heart
To Two - not any more -
