In My Mind

[ananias_squares]

"How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like A frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!"

-Does anyone out there know where this quote came from? Because it's stuck in my head and I have no idea where it came from.

Emily Dickinson's poem, "I am Nobody! Who are you?"
What you've got there is the second stanza. The first stanza is as follows:
"I am Nobody, who are you?
Are you nobody too?
There's a pair of us, don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know."

that's a relief...it's been bugging me for months.

poetry definitely is beyond praise.
