Romantic+Poem

A Charm invests a Face by Emily Dickinson ** A charm invests a face Imperfectly beheld. The lady dare not lift her veil For fear it be dispelled.

But peers beyond her mesh, And wishes, and denies, Lest interview annul a want That image satisfies. **

This poem demonstrates romantic ideals through its dedication to "imperfect" beauty and the child-like way she believes her beauty will be lost if any person were to witness it.
