Mental Philosophy

If you remove classical literature,
Latin, geology, botany, English,
History, and arithmetic, then what’s left

On Emily Dickinson’s curriculum?
Mental philosophy, by one website’s list.
Wouldn’t you just love to know what was in that

Syllabus? What was mental philosophy
That wasn’t arithmetic, geology,
History, Latin, botany, or English?

We ask this since when we read her we suspect
That mental philosophy is exactly
What this is and must have been her best subject.
