Dickinson, Emily: (I like a look of Agony,)

Portre of Dickinson, Emily

(I like a look of Agony,) (English)

I like a look of Agony,
Because I know it's true —
Men do not sham Convulsion,
Nor simulate, a Throe —

The Eyes glaze once — and that is Death —
Impossible to feign
The Beads upon the Forehead
By homely Anguish strung.
