Undue Significance A Starving Man Attaches

Title:     Undue Significance A Starving Man Attaches
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

Undue significance a starving man attaches
To food
Far off; he sighs, and therefore hopeless,
And therefore good.

Partaken, it relieves indeed, but proves us
That spices fly
In the receipt. It was the distance
Was savory.

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Undue Significance A Starving Man Attaches
