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 your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
–Emily Dickinson
Contrast this bit of verse to Galatians 1:10. It seems the Apostle Paul and Emily Dickinson had the same distaste for trying to please men.
