DELIGHT BECOMES PICTORIAL by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: And That's — the Skies
Subject(s): SKY; MOUNTAINS; NATURE;

Delight - becomes pictorial -
When viewed through Pain -
More fair - because impossible
Than any gain -

The Mountain - at a given distance -
In Amber - lies -
Approached - the Amber flits - a little -
And That's - the Skies
