Analysis of The Missing All—prevented Me
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
The Missing All—prevented Me
From missing minor Things.
If nothing larger than a World's
Departure from a Hinge—
Or Sun's extinction, be observed—
'Twas not so large that I
Could lift my Forehead from my work
For Curiosity.
