THE RETICENT VOLCANO KEEPS, by EMILY DICKINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
Last Line: Is immortality
Subject(s): Volcanoes; Immortality
Last Line: Is immortality
Subject(s): Volcanoes; Immortality
The reticent volcano keeps
His never slumbering plan -
Confided are his projects pink
To no precarious man.
If nature will not tell the tale
Jehovah told to her
Can human nature not survive
Without a listener?
Admonished by her buckled lips
Let every babbler be
The only secret people keep
Is Immortality
