by Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886)
I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you -- Nobody -- Too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don't tell! they'd advertise -- you know!
How dreary -- to be -- Somebody!
How public -- like a Frog --
To tell one's name -- the livelong June --
To an admiring Bog!

"To have respect for ourselves guides our morals; and to have a deference for others governs our manners."
