The snake parts the grass the way people part their hair.

Explanation:

Emily Dickinson's 1865 poem "A narrow Fellow in the Grass" uses the image of a meeting with a snake to explore the nature of fear and anxiety--especially the fear of lying. Like the famous "snake in the grass," this snake is a creature of very private, dangerous dangerous and threatening thing. This is one of Dickinson's most famous poems, and one of the few published during her lifetime--though that (book, magazine, etc.) was unnamed, and she didn't approve the publisher's edits (especially not the addition of a title, "The Snake," which really gives the game away). It's a great example of her usual style, including her use of common meter, slant rhyme, and powerful dashes.
