UNDUE SIGNIFICANCE A STARVING MAN ATTACHES by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Was Savory
Subject(s): FOOD & EATING;
Undue Significance a starving man attaches
To Food -
Far off - He sighs - and therefore - Hopeless -
And therefore - Good -

Partaken - it relieves - indeed -
But proves us
That Spices fly
In the Receipt - It was the Distance -
Was Savory
