A CHARM INVESTS A FACE by EMILY DICKINSON

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

Last Line: That Image — satisfies
Subject(s): FACES;
A Charm invests a face
Imperfectly beheld -
The Lady dare not lift her Veil
For fear it be dispelled -

But peers beyond her mesh -
And wishes - and denies -
Lest Interview - annul a want
That Image - satisfies
