It dropped so low in my regard <br /> I heard it hit the ground, <br />And go to pieces on the stones <br /> At bottom of my mind; <br /> <br />Yet blamed the fate that fractured, less <br /> Than I reviled myself <br />For entertaining plated wares <br /> Upon my silver shelf.<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-dropped-so-low-in-my-regard/
