Emily Dickinson's Correspondences
Correspondence with Susan Dickinson


H B157
In petto -

A  Counterfeit -
a  Plated  Person -
I  would  not  be -
Whatever  Strata 
of  Iniquity
My  Nature  underlie -
Truth  is  good 
Health  -  and  
Safety,  and  the 
Sky.
How  meagre,  what 
an  Exile - is  a  Lie,
And  Vocal - when 
we  die -
		Lothrop -
