“I’m Nobody! Who are you?” By Emily wingspaninson

I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there’s a pair of us!
Don’t tell! they’d advertise – you know!
How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one’s name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!

Which line supports the interpretation that thepoet thinks being unknown is better than being popular?

I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
How dreary – to be – Somebody!
Then there’s a pair of us!

Answer 4

How dreary – to be – Somebody!

"being somebody" is a way to say being famous
dreary is dull or uninspiring

so this line means: it's lousy to be famous
and so we might suspect it's better to be unknown.
