PUBLICATION IS THE AUCTION by EMILY DICKINSON

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

Last Line: BUT TO REDUCE NO HUMAN SPIRIT %TO DISGRACE OF PRICE
Publication - is the Auction
Of the Mind of Man -
Poverty - be justifying
For so foul a thing


Possibly - but We - would rather
From Our Garret go
White - unto the White Creator -
Than invest - Our Snow -


Thought belong to Him who gave it -
Then - to Him Who bear
It's Corporeal illustration - sell
The Royal Air -


In the Parcel - Be the Merchant
Of the Heavenly Grace -
But reduce no Human Spirit
To Disgrace of Price -
