The poet tries to tell that as we experience and discover somethings, which once seemed very unreachable, start to be an ordinary thing in time. Dickinson uses the word "antique" not as a "priceless" but rather "an ordinary" thing.

in fact it is a so perfect poem and am studing dickenson now. i think that emily feels that she needs to renew her past experiences because she miss them.

i can also relate to this because i thought i was in love before but it really didn't last that long, so maybe we can live without it. Love isn't everything.
