American Literature – American Poetry – Emily Dickinson
< < < I asked no other thing
I bring an unaccustomed wine > > >

---

I breathed enough to learn the trick

---

I breathed enough to learn the trick,

   And now, removed from air,

I simulate the breath so well,

   That one, to be quite sure

---

The lungs are stirless, must descend

   Among the cunning cells,

And touch the pantomime himself.

   How cool the bellows feels!
