The poet knew how it felt to be loved; how else would she have known how it tasted? Nevertheless, ED suffered from deprivation, though she told herself she needed “just a drop”. “Was God so economical? / His Table spread too high for us - ”. All she asked for was “Crumbs – [which] fit such little [sparrow] mouths - ”. She’s not asking for “Cherries” or a “Golden Breakfast”; that would strangle “Sparrows”, who know how to starve on “little Love”. Life just isn’t fair!<br /><br />The most likely former source of that missing love was Susan, who gave birth to “Ned” Dickinson on June 19, 1861. Understandably, in late 1861 Susan’s time wasn’t there for reviewing poems, as it had been before Ned’s birth, much less for feeding ED’s neediness. Yes, ED had convinced herself that she could be satisfied with less of Sue’s time, as a cost of keeping her in Amherst by marrying Austin. That was a sacrifice ED had thought she could accept when she played matchmaker in the early 1850s, but she hadn’t foreseen the fulltime demands of Sue’s motherhood, and now it hurts.<br />Larry Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029797379711350813.post-11375430359109949412022-12-24T09:18:20.911-08:002022-12-24T09:18:20.911-08:00For those of us who don't speak Portuguese:

Mas sinto que o ato de cobrar demonstra o tamanho da fé que ela tinha, porque só cobra quem acredita. <br /><br />Obrigada pela análise!
