DARE YOU SEE A SOUL AT THE WHITE HEAT? by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: "Peniel"" Hills beyond,"
Subject(s): PASSION;
Dare you see a Soul at the "White Heat"?
Then crouch within the door -
Red - is the Fire's common tint -
But when the quickened Ore
Has sated Flame's conditions,
She quivers from the Forge
Without a color, but the light
Of unanointed Blaze -
Least Village, boasts it's Blacksmith
Whose Anvil's even ring
Stands symbol for the finer Forge
That soundless tugs - within -
Refining these impatient Ores
With Hammer, and with Blaze
Until the Designated Light
Repudiate the Forge -
