Her Grace Is All She Has - meaning Summary
Grace as Limited Resource
The short poem observes a woman whose only notable possession is her grace. Dickinson separates the acts of perception and valuation: one skill is to notice that grace exists, another is the refined art of praising it. The lines suggest social economy—qualities are scarce and require different kinds of social or aesthetic labor to acknowledge and to celebrate—hinting at subtle judgments about worth and attention.
