GREAT STREETS OF SILENCE LED AWAY by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: For Period exhaled
Subject(s): SILENCE;
Great Streets of silence led away
To Neighborhoods of Pause -
Here was no Notice - no Dissent
No Universe - no laws -

By Clocks, 'twas Morning, and for Night
The Bells at Distance called -
But Epoch had no basis here
For Period exhaled.
