Emily Dickinson - The Spider as an Artist

The Spider as an Artist
Has never been employed --
Though his surpassing Merit
Is freely certified

By every Broom and Bridget
Throughout a Christian Land --
Neglected Son of Genius
I take thee by the Hand --

The Spider as an Artist Volume: Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson Year: Published/Written in 1955 Poem of the Day: Mar 22 2012 Comment 1 of 1, added on June 30th, 2005 at 11:20 AM. I love this poem. From reading about the history of Emily, my opinion of this particular piecs is that she was writing about herself. I feel that she was the spider neglected by her father as a great poet or artist. I could be way off, but this is my gut feeling. Truely inspirational! Tammy Ramsey from United States More Comments >> Are you looking for more information on this poem?
