Literary Analysis – Poetry Selections

Emily Dickinson, "I dwell in possibility" (#657)

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—
