Then there's a pair of us

Description

Inspired by an Emily Dickinson poem--it just made me think of them.

(the entire poem)
I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there's a pair of us?
Don't tell! they'd banish us – you know!

How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one's name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!


(other versions have the line "Don't tell! They'll advertise - you know" --but lord knows it could be either...)

Still only working with pencils and scanner :/
