Poem by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)




I dwell in Possibility — (466)

 

I dwell in Possibility —
A fairer House than Prose —
More numerous of Windows —
Superior — for Doors —


Of Chambers as the Cedars —
Impregnable of eye —
And for an everlasting Roof
The Gambrels of the Sky —

 

Of Visitors — the fairest —

For Occupation — This —
The spreading wide my narrow Hands
To gather Paradise —

I'm always in awe of Dickinsonian conceits.

It took me so long to appreciate her poetry, so ambiguous. At some point it became clear and certain.

Thank you for posting this.
