Subject: For Nobody

Who could know our fabled friend had reached such heights even by 1891, that the famed poet Emily Dickinson wrote a poem for him. Perhaps she anticipated his great poetic talents even then!

"I'm Nobody, Who Are You?"

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 lifelong June -
To an admiring Bog!

- Emily Dickinson (1981)
