And though no one may read this comment, I just have to say that comparing the poems of Sarah Palin to those of Emily Dickinson would make the latter wink from beyond her grave, smirking "gotcha again." Ole Em has a wicked, wicked sense of humor. . . .<BR/><BR/>always your<BR/>GooseMartha Nell Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10066686045532002283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-49602918083465485902008-10-03T21:07:00.000-04:002008-10-03T21:07:00.000-04:00Well, yes -- One sees a bold prolepsis of "Small M...Well, yes -- One sees a bold prolepsis of "Small Mayors" in ED's "A solemn thing -- it was -- I said --." Here is Dickinson at her most Palinesque:<BR/><BR/>And then -- the size of this "small" life --<BR/>The Sages -- call it small --<BR/>Swelled -- like Horizons -- in my vest --<BR/>And I sneered -- softly -- "small"!<BR/><BR/>The lineation will probably be mucked up, but you catch the drift.
