Classic and Contemporary Poetry

TO HANG OUR HEAD OSTENSIBLY by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Upon a plane of Gauze!
Subject(s): HUMILITY;
To hang our head - ostensibly -
And subsequent, to find
That such was not the posture
Of our immortal mind -

Affords the sly presumption
That in so dense a fuzz -
You - too - take Cobweb attitudes
Upon a plane of Gauze!
