A Certain Slant of Light
There's a certain Slant of light, Winter
Afternoons-- That opresses, like the Heft Of
Cathedral Tunes-- Heavenly Hurt, it gives us-- We
can find no scar, But internal difference, Where
the meanings are-- None may teach it--Any-- 'Tis
the Seal Despair-- An imperial affliction Sent us
of the Air-- When it comes, the Landscape
listens-- Shadows--hold their breath-- When it
goes, 'tis like the Distance On the look of
Death-- -- Emily Dickinson
