Emily Dickinson's Correspondences
Correspondence with Susan Dickinson

H ST8b 
The rat is the concisest 
               tenant
He pays no rent
Repudiates the obligation
On schemes intent -
Balking our wit
H ST8b2

 
To sound or circumvent
Hate cannot harm
A Foe so reticent
Or decree prohibit him
Lawful as Equilibrium -
               Emily-
