I Breathed Enough to Learn the Trick

Explore "I Breathed Enough to Learn the Trick" by Emily Dickinson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

I breathed enough to learn the trick, / And now, removed from air, / I simulate the breath so well, / That one, to be quite sure

The lungs are stirless, must descend / Among the cunning cells, / And touch the pantomime himself.

How cool the bellows feels!
