Poem 1319 [F1379] "How News must feel when travelling" Analysis by David Preest [Poem]

Emily imagines what it must be like to be 'News.' If he 'have any Heart,' what must he feel when he arrives at a house which he will 'enter like a Dart.' If he is capable of thought, what must he think when he is bringing a stupendous freight of unexpected woe. And what will he do when there is no News left to tell on that day in Heaven when all men are completely open to and readable by each other?
