A typical ED Poem, oft a brevity. All with Dashes inbetween, but I must admit This Is a Classic Poem Of The Day. CONGRATULATIONS for the family of the late great classic poetess. True great, and Classic through and through. That´s EMILY DICKINSON in full person. May she rest in peace.

A Charm invests a face Imperfectly beheld— The Lady dare not lift her Veil For fear it be dispelled— One needs a secured and comforting relation to open up, to lift all those veils. Thanks poet.

hmm...i guess.. when she wrote this poem, she looked in the mirror, and admired her own face. but she's afraid to get old and lose her charm. haha...
