A Flower will not trouble her, it has so small a Foot
"A Flower will not trouble her, it has so small a Foot" is a poem by Emily Dickinson that fits a whole world into four short lines. It looks at a delicate bloom and a tiny boot, and asks the reader to measure one against the other. The mood is playful and tender, with a quiet wink in its comparison. Who is the "her" at the centre of the verse? Read it slowly and the answer may surprise you.
