ONE OF THE ONES THAT MIDAS TOUCHED, by EMILY DICKINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: Upon the apple tree | |||
One of the ones that Midas touched Who failed to touch us all Was that confiding Prodigal The reeling Oriole - So drunk he disavows it With badinage divine - So dazzling we mistake him For an alighting Mine - A Pleader - a Dissembler - An Epicure - a Thief - Betimes an Oratorio - An Ecstasy in chief - The Jesuit of Orchards He cheats as he enchants Of an entire Attar For his decamping wants - The splendor of a Burmah The Meteor of Birds, Departing like a Pageant Of Ballads and of Bards - I never thought that Jason sought For any Golden Fleece But then I am a rural man With thoughts that make for Peace - But if there were a Jason, Tradition bear with me Behold his lost Aggrandizement Upon the Apple Tree | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HEAVENLY FATHER' - TAKE TO THEE by EMILY DICKINSON TWAS WARM - AT FIRST - LIKE US by EMILY DICKINSON A LIGHT EXISTS IN SPRING by EMILY DICKINSON A LITTLE MADNESS IN THE SPRING by EMILY DICKINSON A LITTLE OVER [OR, EAST OF] JORDAN by EMILY DICKINSON A LITTLE ROAD NOT MADE OF MAN by EMILY DICKINSON A ROUTE OF EVANESCENCE by EMILY DICKINSON A SPIDER SEWED AT NIGHT by EMILY DICKINSON A THOUGHT WENT UP MY MIND TO-DAY by EMILY DICKINSON A WORD MADE FLESH IS SELDOM by EMILY DICKINSON |
