XXVII




I ’M nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there ’s a pair of us—don’t tell!
They ’d banish us, you know.

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

--- Emily Dickinson, American Poet (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886)
