THE RAT, by EMILY DICKINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The rat is the concisest tenant Last Line: Equilibrium. Subject(s): Rats | |||

Neither decree Prohibits him, Lawful as Equilibrium. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LITTLE CITIZEN, LITTLE SURVIVOR by HAYDEN CARRUTH HOLES BORED IN A WORKBAG BY THE SCISSORS by MARIANNE MOORE THE EXPERIMENT WITH A RAT by CARL RAKOSI THE RAT by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON |
