The Heart Asks Pleasure First Poem by Emily Dickinson
The Heart Asks Pleasure First
Rating: ★4.3
The heart asks pleasure first
And then, excuse from pain-
And then, those little anodynes
That deaden suffering;
And then, to go to sleep;
And then, if it should be
The will of its Inquisitor,
The liberty to die.

This poem was written in 1924. Why or how is it still relevant today?
Too many ways for me to note. I haven't read this for a long time, I remembered the first couple of verses out of the blue this morning and wanted to look it up.
