Explore "What Soft, Cherubic Creatures" by Emily Dickinson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
What soft, cherubic creatures / These gentlewomen are!
One would as soon assault a plush / Or violate a star.
Such dimity convictions, / A horror so refined / Of freckled human nature, / Of Deity ashamed, --
It's such a common glory, / A fisherman's degree!
Redemption, brittle lady, / Be so, ashamed of thee.
