NOT ANY HIGHER STANDS THE GRAVE by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: A Summer's Afternoon
Subject(s): EQUALITY;
Not any higher stands the Grave
For Heroes than for Men -
Not any nearer for the Child
Than numb Three Score and Ten -

This latest Leisure equal lulls
The Beggar and his Queen
Propitiate this Democrat
A Summer's Afternoon
