This little poem looks simple but it is far from that, which is probably
where its magic is. Dickinson conveys many different images that have to do
with the passage of time: the different seasons, the things and the people
we can get to see in our lifetime (even a member of the Royals, who will
eventually die just like everybody else. Things happen all the time. Life
happens all the time. And death too. We have our time to enjoy and our
duties to do, but these come to an end some day. And time flies. A rotation
of the Earth around its own axis only takes 24 hours (by twelve performed)
and we could be gone any day. I believe this is a very deep and
philosophical message although Dickinson managed to keep it formally very
simple. Beautiful!

Emily realizes the beauty the earth has. Especially when the sun in
setting or rizing. And how that no matter what it is called it is very
beautiful. And it really is.
