244 <br /> <br />It is easy to work when the soul is at play— <br />But when the soul is in pain— <br />The hearing him put his playthings up <br />Makes work difficult—then— <br /> <br />It is simple, to ache in the Bone, or the Rind— <br />But Gimlets—among the nerve— <br />Mangle daintier—terribler— <br />Like a Panter in the Glove—<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-is-easy-to-work-when-the-soul-is-at-play/
