Analysis of Who Court obtain within Himself

Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)



Who Court obtain within Himself
Sees every Man a King—
And Poverty of Monarchy
Is an interior thing—

No Man depose
Whom Fate Ordain—
And Who can add a Crown
To Him who doth continual
Conspire against His Own
