This document appears to be a collection of poems by Emily Dickinson. The poems explore themes of identity, perspective, madness, and the passage of time. In one poem, the speaker declares "I'm 'Wife'—I've finished that" and seems to be reflecting on a change in identity and role. In another, the speaker tastes an intoxicating "liquor never brewed" and describes the effects and pleasures of inebriation. A third poem reflects on the speaker's fragile mental state, with their brain "giggling still" from a horrible experience in previous days.

That other state I'm CzarI'm "Woman" now It's safer so
How odd the Girl's life looks Behind this soft Eclipse I think that Earth feels so To folks in Heavennow

I taste a liquor never brewed (214)
I taste a liquor never brewed From Tankards scooped in Pearl Not all the Frankfort Berries Yield such an Alcohol!
Inebriate of air am I And Debauchee of Dew Reeling thro' endless summer days From inns of molten Blue
When "Landlords" turn the drunken Bee Out of the Foxglove's door When Butterflies renounce their "drams" I shall but drink the more!
Till Seraphs swing their snowy Hats And Saints to windows run To see the little Tippler Leaning against the Sun!
I'm Nobody! Who Are You?

How drearyto beSomebody! How publiclike a Frog To tell one's namethe livelong June To an admiring Bog!

She said her Strings were snapt Her Bowto Atoms blown And so to mend hergave me work Until another Morn
And thena Day as huge As Yesterdays in pairs, Unrolled its horror in my face Until it blocked my eyes
My Brainbegun to laugh I mumbledlike a fool And tho' 'tis Years agothat Day My Brain keeps gigglingstill.
And Something's oddwithin That person that I was And this Onedo not feel the same Could it be Madnessthis?
