I lived on dread; to those who know
Read "Hope is the thing with feathers" by Emily Dickinson, with a complete literary analysis exploring hope, resilience, adversity, bird symbolism, metaphor, and Dickinson's portrayal of hope as a persistent inner force that survives even the harshest circumstances.
I lived on dread; to those who know by Emily Dickinson
I lived on dread; to those who know
The stimulus there is
In danger, other impetus
Is numb and vital-less.
As't were a spur upon the soul,
A fear will urge it where
To go without the spectre's aid
Were challenging despair.
