BETWEEN THE FORM OF LIFE AND LIFE by EMILY DICKINSON

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

Last Line: THE CORKLESS IS SUPERIOR - %I KNOW FOR I HAVE TRIED
Subject(s): ALCOHOLICS AND ALCOHOLISM;

Between the form of Life and Life
The difference is as big
As Liquor at the Lip between
And Liquor in the Jug
The latter - excellent to keep -
But for ecstatic need
The corkless is superior -
I know for I have tried
