Question

feminist reading of I cannot live with you by Emily Dickinson​

Answer 1

Answer:

I cannot live with You —

 It would be Life —

 And Life is over there —

 Behind the Shelf

 The Sexton keeps the Key to —

 Putting up

 Our Life — His Porcelain —

 Like a Cup —

 Discarded of the Housewife —

 Quaint — or Broke —

 A newer Sevres pleases —

 Old Ones crack —

 I could not die — with You —

 For One must wait

 To shut the Other's Gaze down —

 You — could not —

 And I — Could I stand by

 And see You — freeze —

 Without my Right of Frost —

 Death's privilege?

 Nor could I rise — with You —

 Because Your Face

 Would put out Jesus' —

 That New Grace

 Glow plain — and foreign

 On my homesick Eye —

 Except that You than He

 Shone closer by —

 They'd judge Us — How —

 For You — served Heaven — You know,

 Or sought to —

 I could not —

 Because You saturated Sight —

 And I had no more Eyes

 For sordid excellence

 As Paradise

 And were You lost, I would be —

 Though My Name

 Rang loudest

 On the Heavenly fame —

 And were You — saved —

 And I — condemned to be

 Where You were not —

 That self — were Hell to Me —

 So We must meet apart —

 You there — I — here —

 With just the Door ajar

 That Oceans are — and Prayer —

 And that White Sustenance —

 Despair —
