A description of the experience
The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson
The butterfly obtains
But little sympathy
Though favourably mentioned
In Entomology
Because he travels freely
And wears a proper coat
The circumspect are certain
That he is dissolute
Had he the homely scutcheon
Of modest industry
‘Twere fitter certifying
For Immortality
