A Man

________________________________________________
Title:     A Man
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

Fate slew him, but he did not drop;
She felled -- he did not fall --
Impaled him on her fiercest stakes --
He neutralized them all.

She stung him, sapped his firm advance,
But, when her worst was done,
And he, unmoved, regarded her,
Acknowledged him a man.

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Man
