"The eagle's golden breakfast

Strangles them.

God keeps his oath to sparrows,

Who of little love 15

Know how to starve!"

"Cherries suit robins;
The eagle's golden breakfast
Strangles them.
God keeps his oath to sparrows"

“Crumbs fit such little mouths,
Cherries suit robins;
The eagle's golden breakfast
Strangles them.” (10)

"Victory comes late, and is held low to freezing lips too rapt with frost to take it." (Victory comes late, Dickinson)

Didn't Napoleon's men freeze in Russia after practically being assured of victory?

“His table’s spread too high for us
Unless we dine on top-toe” (Dickinson lines 8-9).

Victory comes late, And is held low to freezing lips.
Dickinson, Victory Comes Late lines 1-2) What good is it to win, if you are already daed. You do not get to be happy even for a minute. Frozen with frosty lips, what a sad thought.

"We paused before a house that seemed

A swelling of the ground;

The roof was scarcely visible,

The cornice but a mound" (Dickinson, "Because I could not stop for death").

The eagle's golden breakfast
Strangles them. (dickinson)

"Victory comes late,
And is held low to freezing lips." (Dickinson)

I really didn't understand most of this poem (what a surprise). I liked the other one better, probably because I understood some of it. After reading this, I really didn't have any immediate reactions to it.

We passed the school where children played
At wrestling in a ring;
We passed the fields of gazing grain,
We passed the setting sun.
