Vintage Emily Dickinson! I love reading this poem, but find it difficult to
completely decipher, especially with the syntax, and the unnatural
placement of physical entities outside their usual positions in the "real
scheme" of things, i.e., beneath the sun at night, and above the sun, etc.
In some ways it is like reading Wallace Stevens---no need to always know
exactly what the poem means, but can be enjoyed for the sheer beauty of its
imaginative expressions.
