PERCEPTION OF AN OBJECT COSTS by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: That situates so far 
Subject(s): PERCEPTION; WORTH;
Perception of an object costs
Precise the Object's loss -
Perception in itself a Gain
Replying to its Price -

The Object Absolute - is nought -
Perception sets it fair
And then upbraids a Perfectness
That situates so far
