Smiling back from Coronation
May be Luxury —
On the Heads that started with us —
Being’s Peasantry —
Recognizing in Procession
Ones We former knew —
When Ourselves were also dusty —
Centuries ago —
Had the Triumph no Conviction
Of how many be —
Stimulated — by the Contrast —
Unto Misery —
(Emily Dickinson)
