THE BAT, by EMILY DICKINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
Last Line: His eccentricities.
Subject(s): Animals; Bats
Last Line: His eccentricities.
Subject(s): Animals; Bats
THE bat is dun with wrinkled wings
Like fallow article,
And not a song pervades his lips,
Or none perceptible.
His small umbrella, quaintly halved,
Describing in the air
An arc alike inscrutable, --
Elate philosopher!
Deputed from what firmament
Of what astute abode,
Empowered with what malevolence
Auspiciously withheld.
To his adroit Creator
Ascribe no less the praise;
Beneficent, believe me,
His eccentricities.
