    This 4 stanza poem by Emily Dickinson explores how a simple remark can ignite dormant ideas like a spark igniting gunpowder. The poem suggests that ideas exist latent in nature much like gunpowder exists in charcoal, and a casual remark can provide the fuse to ignite those ideas just as a spark ignites gunpowder and causes an explosion.

    A Man may make a Remark (952)

    Emily Dickinson, 1830 - 1886

    A Man may make a Remark -

    In itself - a quiet thing

    That may furnish the Fuse unto a Spark

    In dormant nature - lain -

    Let us divide - with skill -

    Let us discourse - with care -

    Powder exists in Charcoal -

    Before it exists in Fire -
