I lived on Dread --
Read 'I lived on Dread --' by 'Emily Dickinson' and provide your summary and literary analysis in the comments section below.
I lived on Dread --
To Those who know
The Stimulus there is
In Danger -- Other impetus
Is numb -- and Vitalless --
As 'twere a Spur -- upon the Soul --
A Fear will urge it where
To go without the Sceptre's aid
Were Challenging Despair.
