Analysis of Who Giants know, with lesser Men
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
Who Giants know, with lesser Men
Are incomplete, and shy—
For Greatness, that is ill at ease
In minor Company—
A Smaller, could not be perturbed—
The Summer Gnat displays—
Unconscious that his single Fleet
Do not comprise the skies—
