Holding My Crucifix High

XLVII
HEART, we will forget him!
You and I, to-night!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.

When you have done, pray tell me,
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! lest while you’re lagging,
I may remember him!
I'm done with Vampire Vic. Anywho, I've heard the guys of literary persuasion love Emily Dickinson. She was brilliant yet nonthreathening. I had an English professor in college tell everyone in the class that he was afraid of me. I was totally startled by this. So, naturally, I asked why. He said, I was always thinking...always analyzing every word everyone spoke...and that was frightening. Then he told the class to beware of me. They looked confused. He went on the give me an A++ on the in class essay I wrote about Catcher in the Rye. That's beside the point. So, I guess that explains things in life...
